MAN B&W Diesel presents the ME engine, the first in a new generation of two-stroke diesel engine, to the world.
The presentation took place on 19th February at MAN B&W Diesel’s facilities at Frederikshavn, Denmark, in an international arrangement in which some 300 shipowners, shipyard representatives, and other business associates from 29 countries participated.

The engine was officially started up by Odfjell’s Senior Vice President, Ship Management Jan Didrik Lorentz, together with Kleven Florø Shipyard’s President, Gustav-Johan Nydal, the Mayor of Frederikshavn, Erik Sørensen, and MAN B&W Diesel’s Executive Vice-President, Peter Sunn Pedersen.
