NEW PRODUCTS
Cost efficient engine launched by Cummins
Cummins has launched a fuel and cost-efficient version of its X15 engine for the marine market featuring its latest fuel system product with high injection pressure for fuel optimisation.
The X15 marine includes common rail system XPI, which provides the highest injection pressure of any other common rail system for an efficient fuel burn and cleaner emissions. X15 for marine also uses engine control module CM2350, which provides diagnostic and monitoring capability, de-rates and automated engine shut downs, fuel sensor monitoring, digital engine start/ stop functionality and gear pressure and temperature.
Designed to withstand high hour, continuous duty operation, the engine will offer variable speed and fixed speed ratings between 336kW and447kW. It will also meet US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 3 and International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Tier II emissions standards.
U-SAFE remote control buoy showcased
A self-propelled, remote- controlled man overboard (MOB) rescue buoy designed for speedy recovery has been showcased recently.
Developed by Portugal based Noras Performance, the 8kg battery-powered U-SAFE has a range of three miles, maximum speed of 15 knots and can handle up to 200kg, enabling it to reach someone in the water and bring them back to a boat quickly while minimising the safety risk to the rescuer(s).
Miguel Paulo, director of manufacturing at Noras Performance, said: “You don’t need any specific instructions. It starts to work immediately after it enters the water. The device lets the person being rescued rest and doesn’t put anyone else in danger.”
The lightweight plastic float has its own navigation and guidance system and doesn’t require any training to operate. It also enables those onboard to launch the device without the need to turn the boat around, meaning no time is lost at the start of the rescue operation.
