Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding
Co., Ltd. (MES) achieved the world
record output of 50 million BHP in
aggregated production of MAN B&W
engines in October 2005, which was
marked by the Mitsui-MAN B&W
6S60MC (Mark 6) type engine built
in MES Tamano Works for Onomichi
Dockyard Co., Ltd. This engine was
installed on the 71,000DWT crude oil
carrier being built by Onomichi Dock-
yard Co., Ltd. for Dynacom Tankers
Management Ltd.
The diesel engine production at
MES has greatly increased in line
with the increase of new building ships
and the enlargement of the engine size
required for driving larger ships. MES
took only three years and three
months to produce 10 million BHP
after the company achieved the record
of 40 million BHP in 2002. This
achievement means that MES has
produced diesel engines totaling 50
million BHP since the company built
the first Mitsui-B&W diesel engine
MES achieves world record of 50 million BHP
Mitsui-MAN B&W diesel engine production
(the former name
of Mitsui MAN-
B&W diesel en-
gine) in 1928.
MES completed
diesel engines cor-
responding to 3.48
million BHP on the
shop test basis in
fiscal 2004, and
MES is expected to
produce diesel en-
gines of 3.70 mil-
lion BHP in fiscal
2005 from April 2005 to March 2006,
which is the largest annual record ever
achieved by the company.
