Special-Purpose Ships

From fireships and rescue boats to survey and research vessels, no matter what specialized task your vessel performs, we can provide the right propulsion system.

To fulfill your commitments concerning safety at sea or other special tasks, we offer dedicated solutions for special-purpose vessels. They are ideal for fireships, rescue vessels, oil spill combating vessels, research vessels, pilot vessels and survey ships, buoy laying vessels, dredgers, icebreakers or SWATH ships – to name just a few. Among such a diverse range of ships, each with its own complex requirements for drive systems, there’s no partner like us.  With special solutions to operate in Gas-Protected Operation modes or to enable operations even during and after capsizing, we develop special features for special needs.

Our diesel and gas engines provide high performance and reliability across the full 261 kW (Series S60) to 10,000 kW (Series 8000) power range. With high torque levels, excellent performance response characteristics and intelligent controls, our engines react quickly and dynamically even under maximum load. This provides for powerful acceleration and the highest levels of maneuverability in any water or swell – and even in ice. And as a system provider, we supply more than just engines; we also offer the ideal gensets for onboard power generation and intelligent ship automation systems.
