Did you know
- The MAN B&W K98MC-C engine was introduced in 1995, marking a return to the 980 mm bore class for MAN B&W Diesel A/S. This design is an evolution of the K98MC/MC-C series, developed to meet the higher power demands of faster container ships.
- The K98MC-C is a large-bore, two-stroke, low-speed crosshead marine diesel engine, positioned within MAN B&W's MC-C family, which are known for their compact structure. The 'C' in its designation signifies its compact design, making it lighter, more cost-effective, and more powerful than earlier MC engines.
- The K98MC-C is chosen for its high power output, fuel efficiency, and reliability, making it suitable for the propulsion of large ocean-going vessels such as container ships, VLCCs, and bulk carriers. It is designed for long service intervals and operates on heavy fuel oil, contributing to lower operational costs.
