MAN AG has won a large contract worth in the ballpark of 50 mln eur from the Singapore-based shipping company APL for the manufacture and delivery of eight giant diesel engines, reported Euro am Sonntag. A spokesman from the company said he could not comment on the report. The two-stroke diesel engines weigh around 2,200 metric tons and deliver up to 115,000 horsepower each. According to specifications from the company, the motors are currently the largest of their kind in the world. The magazine said the eight engines would be fitted into four ships to be used by the Korean shipyard Hyundai Heavy Industries and four ships for its competitor Daewoo Shipbuilding.
Delivery is planned for 2011, the report said.
