Rolls-Royce and Italian yacht manufacturer Sanlorenzo will continue to work closely together on yacht propulsion systems. Both companies have signed a framework agreement for the supply of mtu engines, mtu automation and mtu exhaust aftertreatment systems for a further four years. “We are delighted that Sanlorenzo continues to rely on our mtu engines. Yacht operators benefit from their power, reliability and fuel efficiency, as well as from our worldwide service network,” said Denise Kurtulus, Senior Vice President Global Marine at Rolls-Royce Power Systems.
Among the yachts equipped with mtu Series 2000 and 4000 engines are the Alloy 44/48 and 1150 EXP models and the largest Sanlorenzo Yacht to date, the Steel, which can be up to 74 meters in length. All mtu engines are approved for renewable diesel (HVO). IMO-III-compliant mtu propulsion solutions with an mtu SCR system are available as an option.
The mtu engine Series 2000 is specially designed for small to medium-sized vessels in the power range from 452 kW to 1,939 kW, while the mtu Series 4000 is designed for larger vessels and higher power requirements in the range from around 720 kW to 4,300 kW.
