MAN Energy Solutions, one of the leading marine engine manufacturers in the range between 730 and 2000 hp (5370 to 1397 kW), says that all of its engines now comply to the globally required major current emissions standards.
All engine models from i8-730 to V12-2000 are certified with the US EPA Tier III, the EU IMO Tier II and RCD 2013/53/EC. The current China Marine Recreational Stage I standard has been upgraded to the Stage II based on the US Tier III standard requirements.
MAN marine engines available in 12.4 to 24.2 liters displacements now meet the latest Chinese legislation norms. The limited value of the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission of 5.8 g/kWh and 0.12 g/kWh of a particulate matter is fully met and satisfies at the same time the limits imposed by the US and European standards. The new China Marine Recreational Tier III will become effective July 1, 2022.
Yachts fitted with MAN marine propulsion engines can be sold and can operate on waters in all geographical situations.
Based on qualifications to meet the latest emission regulations, MAN Energy Solutions has just signed a three-year contract with Ferretti Group. Engines from 730 to 2000 hp will be fitted to the yachts branded Riva, Itama, Pershing, Wally, Ferretti and Custom Line in length from 17 to 37 meters.
MAN Energy Solutions and Ferretti Group have been working together for more than 30 years.
In addition to Ferretti Yachts, MAN also has renewed its contract recently with Azimut-Benetti for the next five years. The leading superyacht manufacturer in the world, Azimut-Benetti purchases all engine models, from i8-800 to V12-1900, to power yachts in the length from 25 to 37 meters.
This is the fifth consecutive renewal of the original contract between the yacht and engine manufacturers. PSR
