Propulsion Systems

Our propulsion solutions power vessels from small-windfarm crew boats to large fast ferries or offshore supply vessels. Whatever your need, with MTU products you can be confident that you’ll be sailing efficiently and safely. We start by providing comprehensive engineering and technical support for the design and implementation of your vessel’s propulsion system.
Our application engineering team helps you to reduce design, installation and commissioning costs. A combination of a diesel engine and gearbox, on-board power supply and ship automation come together to create a single ship propulsion system which is both reliable and cost-effective. That’s because MTU engines and propulsion systems are characterized by their high power density, low weight, and excellent response behavior as well as simple operation, optimized maintenance and low lifecycle costs while maintaining long TBOs (time between overhauls).
