Did you know
- The MAN B&W ME-B series was introduced in mid-2006 with the S35ME-B and S40ME-B designs, and expanded in early 2007 with the S50ME-B. This series built upon the existing, mechanical MC-C range, upgrading it with electronic controls.
- The S60ME-B is part of MAN B&W's two-stroke engine program, characterized by its 'S' designation for a long-stroke engine, typically favored by bulk carriers and tankers. The 'B' in its nomenclature signifies a mechanical/electronic hybrid control system, where fuel injection is electronically controlled, while exhaust valve actuation is camshaft operated with electronically controlled variable closing timing. This positions it as a predecessor to the more compact 'ME-C' engines, which feature fully electronic control of both fuel injection and exhaust valve actuation.
- The S60ME-B is chosen for its optimal performance, offering a balance of power, economy, and weight savings. Its electronic fuel injection control contributes to improved fuel economy, lower propeller speeds, and reduced lifecycle costs. The engine is also designed to meet Tier II emission requirements.
