mtu Marine gensets
mtu diesel engines provide reliable solutions for all of your marine needs.
Our marine genset portfolio includes both hybrid and marine diesel generators, ranging from 720 to 3210 kW for auxiliary and emergency power generations at high seas. With numerous options and additional features, including sound shiels, specialized mountings and control panels, marine gensets can be tailored to the individual needs and requirements of customers.
In addition to pre-engineered standardized gensets, we also offer fully customized solutions for every type of application. Thanks to best practices and many years of experience in configuration, installation and maintenance of our constand-speed and variable speed gensets, we can offer customers optimized turnaround times; all this with the support of our global network of partners for optimal service.
Best performance at every moment
The key to optimal results in the operation of our mtu marine gensets lies in the combination of state-of-the-art technology with flexible systems. This flexibility allows the operating costs of the variable speed gensets to be reduced noticeably. The decisive factor in this is our patented Superior System Controller (SSC), which has been tried and tested over many years and analyzes the requirements placed on the genset.
With this analysis, the SSC can deliver exactly the performance required of the genset at any given moment. A bonus: optimized operation also allows maintenance intervals to be individually adjusted and extended. To ensure that you can always expect exactly the performance you need, we also offer precise simulations and calculations that guarantee cost efficiency and safety.

Flexible power for lower lifecycle costs
mtu marine gensets utilize a flexible system with advanced technology, which makes for a super-efficient operation. Variable speed gensets maximize operational flexibility and therefore minimize your operating costs. Our patented Superior System Controller (SSC) is able to determine the best operating point in the engine’s performance map in relation to electrical power demand. And for customers who prefer to use a marine generator of their choice, we offer a precise simulation and calculation to ensure a safe, economical operation.
Benefits:
- Lower fuel consumption at part load, up to 15%*
- Longer maintenace intervals and up to 20%* lower maintenance costs
- Lower noise signature
Low emissions. Maximum flexibility.
As installation space is always restricted inside the engine room, the inhouse developed airless SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) solution from mtu is compact and maintenance friendly. Besides easily accessible doors for replacement of the SCR catalysts, the system also features an integrated mixing pipe and dosing units. The integrated mixing pipe and DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) dosing allows the shipyard highly flexible pipework between the engine and the SCR box. Additional space to fit the exhaust gas aftertreatment is reduced to a bare minimum. Amonia slip is prevented under all operating conditions by a closed loop regulated control system.
When using EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) technology, the quality of the fuel is essential. Fuel with more than 15 ppm sulfur will lead to the formation of sulfur acid in the EGR cooling process. Sulfur acid will cause substantial engine failures over time. As many vessels operate worldwide, especially in the offshore service and supply business, mtu evaluates SCR as the preferred solution to maintain reliability of our engines and the safety of your vessel and crew. SCR technology allows operation with lower fuel quality.
Our flexible genset solutions are tailored to your needs. Available in standardized or customized versions:
- Standardized gensets for cost-effectiveness and favorable lead
times based on our proven Series 4000 engines - Customized gensets tailored to the specific requirements for the most challenging conditions
Sustainable fuels make internal combustion engines cleaner
Encapsulation and Mounting
Sound encapsulation and engine mountings for marine engines involves the strategic implementation of soundproofing materials and design modifications to reduce noise emissions from the engine compartment.
This process aims to contain the noise at its source, preventing it from
escaping and propagating through the water and surrounding environment. Depending on the application different targets can be achieved such as raised passenger comfort in yachts to enhanced tactical advantages for frigates based on the lower noise levels. mtu engines can optional be equipped with enhanced mounting and sound encapsulation technologies and contracted sound levels via our internal engineering experts.
Propulsion solutions
We can deliver combined propulsion systems customized to your needs. You can rely on us to design, build, and integrate the complete propulsion
system including gearbox, shaftline, propeller/waterjet, and automation
systems.
