Did you know
- The MAN B&W G80ME-C, the first in the G-type series, was introduced to the market in October 2010. This engine series follows the design principles of the large-bore Mk-9 engine series that MAN Diesel & Turbo introduced in 2006.
- The G80ME-C is part of MAN B&W's ME-C engine program, which features electronic controls for flexible management of cylinder processes, including fuel injection timing and exhaust valve actuation. The 'G' in its designation signifies an 'ultra-long stroke' design, positioning it as the longest stroke option within the MAN B&W portfolio, surpassing the 'S' (long stroke) and 'K' (short stroke) types.
- The G80ME-C is designed with an ultra-long stroke to enable lower engine speeds, which in turn allows for the use of larger propellers. This design aims to significantly improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions by an estimated 4-7% in propulsion packages, particularly for vessels like VLCCs, tankers, and bulk carriers.
