Viken Shipping in Norway has ordered a 6S70ME-C electronically- controlled engine from MAN B&W

Diesel A/S.

The engine, which was ordered for a highly specified Suezmax "shuttle light" tanker with upgraded specification, will be housed in this vessel that will be delivered from Samsung in Korea in

November 2003 and will enter a long- term charter for Navion in the North

Sea. Four more ships, two more Suez- max and two Aframax, are being nego- tiated with the yard for this owner, and they, too, are planned to have ME-C engines; the Aframax will more than likely incorporate the 6S60ME-C type.

The 6S70ME-C engine develops an out- put of 18,660 kW at 91 rpm. It has all the usual features of the ME engines, notably: Variable electronically-con- trolled timing of fuel injection and exhaust valves for lower specific fuel consumption and better performance parameters;

Lower rpm possible for maneuvering; better astern and crash stop perfor- mance; improved emissions characteris- tics, such as lower NOx and smoke val- ues at any load; and equalized thermal load in and between cylinders minimiz- ing the risk of premature need for over- haul.
