MITSUI E&S Completes First MET Turbocharger for Marine Engines under License from MHI-MME
MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Takeyuki Takahashi; Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "MITSUI E&S"), signed a license agreement with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery & Equipment Co., Ltd. (President: Toshiaki Hori, Headquarters: Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, hereinafter "MHI-MME") to manufacture MET turbochargers in 2022, and MITSUI E&S has received an order and completed the first two turbochargers under license, MET66MBII and MET42MB. These turbochargers will be installed on the 6G80ME-C10.6-EGRTC marine main engine manufactured by MITSUI E&S.
MITSUI E&S plans to complete the first MET42MBII in fiscal 2023, and to subsequently expand the model as appropriate to meet the diverse demands of its customers.
MHI-MME has been developing MET turbochargers since 1965 as a technology that meets the demand for high-output high-efficiency engines. MET turbochargers hold an approximately 50%1 share of the large two-stroke marine engine market.
MITSUI E&S has manufactured and sold over 4,000 MAN turbochargers in the roughly 40 years since it signed a license agreement with the current MAN Energy Solutions SE (Headquarters: Germany) in 1981. By adding MET turbochargers to its lineup of in-house manufactured turbochargers, MITSUI E&S is able to select the most suitable turbocharger for its Mitsui-MAN B&W engines.
In addition, by leveraging its many years of experience as a turbocharger manufacturer and engine manufacturer, MITSUI E&S will strengthen its system for contributing to its customers throughout the entire life cycle of Mitsui-MAN B&W engines, from new manufacturing to after-sales service, and for providing full support for safety and security.
