Did you know
- The MAN B&W G95ME-C series, with its 'G' designating an ultra-long stroke, was introduced to meet the demand for efficient propulsion in large container vessels. The G95ME-C9.5, a significant model in this series, entered service in October 2015. The G95ME-C10.5, an updated platform, was launched in May 2020, building upon its Mk 9.5 predecessor with improvements in performance, fuel consumption, and emissions.
- The G95ME-C is part of MAN B&W's electronically controlled ME-C engine program, which offers flexible control of cylinder processes like fuel injection and exhaust valve actuation. It is characterized by its 'G' designation, signifying an ultra-long stroke, which allows for lower engine speeds and the use of larger propellers for enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions. This positions it as a more efficient option compared to the 'S' (super-long stroke) and 'K' (short-stroke) type engines within the MAN B&W two-stroke portfolio, particularly for large container ships.
- The G95ME-C is chosen for its ability to provide sufficient power for gigantic containerships while achieving optimal fuel consumption and reduced emissions. Its ultra-long stroke design enables the use of larger propellers and lower engine speeds, contributing to significant fuel savings and CO2 reductions. The electronic control system allows for fine-tuning to optimize thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, and lube oil use across various operating conditions.
