“We focus on designing and
developing product portfolios tailored for the market for CSIC Diesel Power as well as provision of technical support with marketing the products and establishing a service network.” • SMDERI’s traditional role as part of the CSIC was as an engine design bureau and consultant, providing a number of Chinese enginebuilders with the technical
Detroit Diesel/Hamilton jets drive pilot craft
A pair of 15.7m-long pilot vessels due for delivery in May and September this year to Crescent River Port Pilots of Louisiana will be operated on the Mississippi between Pilot Town and New Orleans.
Designed and built by Kvichak Marine, the all-aluminium craft will be powered by twin 440kW Detroit Diesel 60 series engines driving Hamilton 364 waterjets via Twin Disc MG5114SC gearsets for a maximum speed of 32 knots.
New Zealand-based Hamilton Jet’s HJ and HM series market models with power input ratings from 150kW right up to 3,000kW for driving vessels all the way up to 60m in length.
information needed to build engines. Over the past 20 years the organisation has supplied around 10 engine designs to enginebuilder clients but now looks to benefit as well from a production role. Pursuing this goal, SMDERI has merged with a client to form a fully integrated engine manufacturing operation, exploiting a new base to produce CS21 engines. Deploying more than 30 laboratories and
Two MAN 12V32/40 medium speed diesel gensets built by MAN Diesel & Turbo licensee Shaanxi Diesel Heavy Industry (SXD) will replace a pair of older models on the offshore hydrocarbon platform Liuhua 11-1 operated by the China National Offshore Oil Corp. Supporting the project, MAN Diesel & Turbo provided SXD with a redesign of the 32/40 genset to meet special offshore requirements, a frame auxiliary box and its SaCoSone engine automation system.
A growing need by China for oil and gas to fuel economic development will call for increasing offshore newbuilding and retrofit platform projects as well as for support vessels. MAN Diesel & Turbo is keen to participate at the early stages of such projects in co-operation
around 650 specialist staff, the Shanghai- based organisation has diversified to address six business areas: diesel and gas engines; Stirling engines; power and propulsion system integration; engineroom automation; equipment for energy saving and environmental protection; and – most recent – energy services.

SXD is a member of the state-owned China Shipbuilding Industry Corp, its relationship with the German group forged over 30 years ago when it signed a licence agreement to build Pielstick-type engines. The licence was later extended to cover MAN Diesel & Turbo’s four-stroke engine programme, SXD’s deliveries including many 32/40 engines to Chinese yards and owners. Three six-cylinder MAN L21/31 medium speed diesel gensets will be installed during the conversion of an Aframax tanker into an offshore floating storage and offloading (FSO) vessel. Each 1,254kW genset will run at 900 rpm (60Hz).
The FSO will be created from the 109,000 ›››
