Features

Separate circuit aftercooling system

The primary advantage of the separate circuit aftercooling system (SCAC) is that no sea water circulates through the aftercooler

Emissions

EPA Tier 3 compliant, IMO II and EU IWW compliant

Cooling system

Heat exchanger and Keel cooled options for all ratings

Turbo Configurations

Single turbo configurations for all ratings

Competitive size and weight

Marine Certifications
