A very large number of MC & ME engines are entering service these years. The latest development of the most successful marine engine series ever is the ME-B series of which more than hundred engines are on order or delivered. The ME-B series are targeting the small bore end (35, 40, 46, 50 and 60) of the MAN B&W low speed engine range.

Electronically controlled low speed diesels have been part of our engine programme for several years, actually since 2001. Today, approx. 500 electronically controlled engines are in service, and focus on the electronically controlled engine versions is expected to increase with IMO Tier II emission rules coming into force for vessels with keel-laying after 1 January 2011. Also, because of this development the optimised ME-B engine range is very important and has already grabbed a lot of attention among shipowners.
