13FEB2019 - NEWS - Italy based shipping firm Grimaldi Group orders 18 main engines from MAN Energy Solutions for nine RoRo vessels

Italy based shipping company Grimaldi Group has recently ordered 18 TIER II-compliant main engines from MAN Energy Solutions for nine RoRo vessels. The 7,800 lane-metre vessels will operate in the Mediterranean Sea. The MAN B&W 9S50ME-C9.6 engines will be built by MAN Energy Solutions’ two-stroke licensee Hyundai Heavy Industries in Korea, while Jiangsu Jinling Shipyard will construct the vessels in Nanjing, China. As the new RoRo hybrid vessels use fuel oil during navigation and lithium mega-batteries in the harbour, they guarantee zero emissions in port. At the time of navigation, the batteries will be recharged through shaft generators, adding the peak shaving system.
