M.A.N.-B&W Diesel Engines

Under an agreement concluded recently between the China State

Shipbuilding Corporation and the M.A.N. Maschinenfabrik

Augsburg-Nurnberg Aktiengesell- schaft, Augsburg Works, the

Xinzhong Power Machine Plant in

The engines are suitable for in- stallation in ships, as main pro- pulsion engines for river vessels, and as auxiliary engines for ship- board electricity generation. They can also be used in stationary plants in combination with gener- ators as stand-by generating sets or for smaller solo-operation power stations.

The first three medium-speed 5- cylinder diesel engines (612 hp/ 450 kw at 900 rpm), which were assembled at Xinzhong from parts delivered from M.A.N.'s Augsburg plant recently passed testbed trials.
