MAN Diesel & Turbo has announced the first order for its second- generation EGR system, to be applied aboard a Maersk Line container vessel – the 4,500-teu new building #2358. The system will be fully integrated with the vessel’s main engine, a two-stroke MAN B&W 6S80ME-C9 type to be built by Hyundai Heavy Industries’ engine & machinery division.
The EGR system enables the meeting of the imminent IMO NOx Tier-III emission levels due to come into force by 1 January 2016.
