Engine order and framework agreement means MAN Diesel & Turbo equips Powerships


K


arpowership, part of the Turkish energy group Karadeniz Holding,


placed an order for a total of twelve 18V 51/60 engines with a capacity of 18.9 MW per engine with MAN Diesel & Turbo. Six of the engines were delivered during 2016, with a further six during 2017. An additional framework agreement sets out the conditions for the acceptance of another 48 units. As with previous orders, the


engines will be deployed in the Powership fleet of the Turkish business. For this purpose, ballast transporters, heavy transport ships and barges are converted into floating power stations, under their trademark name “Powerships”. Apart from the engines, MAN will also deliver the control and automation equipment for the floating power stations, as well as further system and electrical hardware.


MAN and Karpowership


have been establishing moveable power stations since 2009. “This is a crucial order for


our company from a very important customer. We are connected to Karpowership through a long-lasting partnership, and we are proud and happy to be able to further contribute to the Powership concept with our technology. The Powerships provide electrical energy in areas where it is urgently needed, and thereby help to alleviate pressing energy shortages,” Wayne Jones,

“Powerships mean flexibility. Areas of deployment will be in various parts of Europe, Asia, South America and Africa. Two ships from the fleet with MAN engines are currently in use in Lebanon, stabilising the energy supply of the capital city, Beirut. Since Spring 2013, the Karadeniz Powership Fatmagul Sultan has been feeding into the distribution network of the capital city, with a capacity of around 203 MW.” - Dr. Tilman Tütken, Vice President MAN Diesel & Turbo and European Head of Sales Power Plants.
