The 16-cylinder units will have a contract rating of 2,960kW at 1,900rpm. Besides the high-speed engines, the shipsets for each vessel include gearboxes, MAN Alpha fixed pitch propellers with struts as well as Alphatronic 3000 propulsion control systems.<\/p>\n
Ben Andres, Head of High-Speed Sales, MAN Energy Solutions said: \u201cThe MAN 175D type is ideally suited to demanding naval applications and this is the latest in a series of orders we have won globally. The engine\u2019s technical and economical credentials stand it in good stead, while its compactness, shock capability, and best-in-class fuel-oil consumption are always key criteria for customers. Delivering complete propulsion packages to these two vessels also meets our ambition to increasingly become a supplier of complete solutions. I am delighted to partner with Israel Shipyards in the important high-speed naval segment, and look forward to building up our relationship in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
