HAMBURG, GermanyCaterpillar Marine is launching the MaK M 25 E engine platform at the 2014 SMM Exhibition, held Sept. 9-12in Hamburg, Germany. Developed with an emphasis on fuel savings, the platform was designed to address the evolving global marine industry requirements while maximizing operators’ bottom line.

Key product features include optimized engine performance and an efficient part load range, which can help to save up to 40 tons of fuel a year when operating vessels at variable engine speed. Vessels typically operating at lower loads can save up to 60 tons of fuel per year by changing the operating mode from constant to variable engine speed. The M 25 E engine platform will be available to order from the global MaK dealer network in 4Q 2014 and is designed for offshore and coastal cargo vessels.

Based on the M 25 C platform, Caterpillar Marine says the MaK 25 E engine adds a 5% power increase and reduces fuel consumption. Developed to be compatible with both traditional and modern mechanical systems, as well as electric propulsion systems, the M 25 E platform will be available in 6-, 8-, and 9-cylinder configurations offering ratings between 2,100 kW and 3,150 kW at 720 and 750 rpm.
