MAN will equip the two minesweepers that Abeking & Rasmussen is building for the Indonesian Navy with its 12V175D-MM engines. The German engine manufacturer MAN Energy Solutions was selected by the Bremen shipyard to supply the MAN hybrid drive package. In addition to the two engines with an output of 2220 kW at 1900 rpm, this includes the MAN-Alpha CPP twin-screw propeller system with Alphatronic 3000 propulsion control system, which is designed to enable precise yet simple manoeuvring. According to the company, the associated AKA Hybrid PTI system, which allows purely electric propulsion at low speeds, ensures silent operation during mine hunting.
The MAN 175D engine series is available in three variants with 12, 16 and 20 cylinders and an output of 1500 to 4400 kilowatts. The environmentally friendly engines were developed in compliance with current and future emission requirements.
