Field Tests

Extensive practical testing of the new

MAN B&W common rail technology has commenced since the beginning of the year. One of the five auxiliary engines of the Cornelia Maersk, a 6,600-

TEU containership of the A.P. Moeller

Group, is equipped with the new tech- nology. "The engine has been perform- ing with convincing results for more than 1,200 operating hours," said Stephan

Haas who is assisting in the field trial from the development engineering side.

The 32/40CR series engine will be avail- able from 2005 onwards, with larger and smaller types in the pipeline.
