PRODUCTSVolvo Penta D13/16 Marine Diesel Engines Volvo Penta brings heavy- duty power with state-of-the- art Tier 3, in-line six-cylinder diesels with electronically con- trolled unit injectors, twin-en- try turbo and intercooler. The engines produce high torque at low RPM and low emissions levels ? important qualities in a workboat. The D16 is a rugged workhorse for larger vessels, with power ratings ranging from 501 to 751 hp. The D13 engines, with power ratings of 400 to 700 hp are available as a propulsion system (D13 MH) or as a ma- rine genset (D13 MG). The D13 can run Volvo Penta IPS steerable pods, straight-shaft drives or water jets. www.volvopenta.com/us Clean Hybrid Technology Gets EPA Veri? cation Clean hybrid technology, already prov- ing its value today, has received veri? ca- tion from the U.S. Environmental Pro- tection Agency (EPA). The EPA veri? ed the XeroPoint Hybrid Tug Retro? t Sys- tem (XeroPoint) pioneered by Foss Mari- time and Aspin Kemp and Associates (AKA). The rigorous EPA veri? cation process ensures the XeroPoint hybrid sys- tem is an effective choice on any U.S. harbor tug seeking to meet the nations highest environmental standards. The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles and the California Air Resources Board also have partnered with Foss and AKA on the XeroPoint hybrid retro? t system. www.foss.com Voith Propulsion for Fireboats Voith will provide Voith Schnei- der Propellers and turbo couplings for two ? reboats designed by Rob- ert Allan Ltd. for the Port of Long Beach. The vessels are being built by Foss Maritime, with delivery scheduled for both in 2014. De- signed for operating speeds of 13 knots the design is based on the Voith Water Tractor principle. The ? reboats will be equipped with two Voith Schneider Propellers, VSP 26GII/165 AE45, each in the vessel. The relatively short VSP blade length allows the ? reboats to enter shallow areas to perform onshore ? re- ? ghting, without compromising safety. www.voith.com Scanias Marine Engines Ready for EPA Tier 3 Scania has retained all performance bene? ts found in the Tier 2 Sca- nia engine, and improved them to comply with leg-islation for Tier 3. The Scania Marine engine range for EPA Tier 3 in- cludes enhanced environmental performance, increased power, and unchanged fuel consumption. The engine range consists of a 13-liter Inline six and a powerful 16 liter V8 for both marine propulsion and marine auxiliary applications. EPA Tier 3 emission standards come into ef- fect on 1 January 2014 for 75 kW to 3000 kW engines, and 1.2 to 2.5 liters of displacement per cylinder. www.scaniausa.com John Deere Power Systems John Deere Power Sys- tems manufactures and markets diesel engines to meet marine customer needs in commercial and recre- ational applications worldwide. John Deere PowerTech marine engines are built for power, reliable performance, long life, fuel ef? ciency, quiet operation, ease of mainte- nance and simpli? ed integration. The John Deere lineup of propulsion engines offers power ratings from 56 kW to 559 kW (75 hp to 750 hp). John Deere also supplies generator-drive and auxiliary engines to the market. En- gine models are available in every required emissions level. www.JohnDeere.com/marine MAN 32/44CR Units to Power Offshore Construction Ship MAN Diesel & Turbo has won an order to sup- ply the main gensets for a multi-layer vessel new- building, recently com- menced by Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven AG. The Ceona Amazon will be equipped with 2 × 9L32/44CR + 4 × 8L32/44CR main gensets, providing a total output of 28MW. The 32/44CR has gained a strong foothold in the offshore market due to its second-to-none power and SFOC. MAN Diesel & Turbo reports the new order as be- ing the third signi? cant 32/44CR order the company has secured in the offshore market this year alone. www.mandieselturbo.com September 2013116 MNMN Sept2013 Layout 112-122.indd 1168/29/2013 12:20:25 PM
