MAN Propulsion for

Canadian Navy Tugs

Ocean Industries Inc. has ordered 8 × MAN 12V175D-MM, IMO Tier III-compliant engines in connection with the construction of 4 × 24-meter ASD tugs for the Royal Canadian

Navy. The vessels are set respectively for deliv- ery to Canada’s major naval bases at Esquimalt,

British Columbia and Halifax, Nova Scotia, with each location set to receive two tugs.

Under the contract, MAN Energy Solutions will also provide SCR (Selective Catalytic

Reduction) technology for the engines, facilitat- ing Tier III compliance, as well as ship service diesel-generator sets. Work on these compo- nents will take place at MAN’s facility in Den- mark, while its Canadian division will integrate the systems and additionally provide training, testing and support during harbor acceptance

multipath mitigation accuracy. The four-antenna array of the SCX20 and SCX21 Satellite Compasses are con? gured in a manner that cre- ates six unique baselines from which to calculate accurate heading information, even in severe environments. The SCX20 connects to the ship’s NMEA2000 backbone directly, while the SCX21 con- nects to onboard equipment via three fully con? gurable NMEA0183 ports. Both models provide accurate Time, Position, 1.0° Heading accuracy, COG/SOG, Roll/Pitch/Heave, ROT (10 degrees/second), 3-Axis Speed, and air temperature and pressure data. Their compact and rugged housing weighs only 2.2lbs (1kg), and pole mount kits

MAN Energy Solutions are available to provide a simple installation on any vessel.
