Within the monthly series of the events called "Technical Meeting" hosted by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) together with the RINA, the topic of the 10th Technichal Meeting was MAN Diesel's innovative 51/60 Dual Fuel Engine and it's application on LNG tankers.

At this event Eric Clarke, Business Development Manager at MAN Diesel Australia, presented the engine's design, it's overall flexibility as well as it's fuel flexibiliy. The engine offers a market leading 1000 kW/cylinder output in both possible gaseous and liquid fuels operating modes.

The presentation on the MAN 51/60DF Engine found great interest among the audience (mainly with a marine background) and was followed by a lively discussion.  Mr Clarke responded to various detailed questions concerning the design of the engine and how it fits the LNG carrier environment.  A major aspect of the discussion was the low emissions of the engine running on gas. Mr Clarke pointed out how MAN Diesel continues to addresse the stringent Global Emission Standards and the requirements of Marine Class Societies while offering a powerful and reliable engine to the customer at the same time. For those not associated with the marine industry, the engine due to the design and flexibility is also applicable for power plants, especially power generation for mines/utilities. 

MAN Diesel Australia will be installing the first 51/60DF engines into Australia at a new Power Station at Owen Springs (near Alice Springs) for “Power and Water Corporation” in the near future.

MAN Diesel Australia awarded $60 million contract to build the new Owen Springs Power Station
