MAN Extends China Engine Deal

MAN Diesel & Turbo has renewed its contract with Chinese two-stroke licensee, China Shipbuilding Industry Corp. (CSIC) for the next 10 years.

The contract covers the production of low-speed engines at CSIC affiliates: Dalian Marine Diesel (DMD), Yichang Marine Diesel Engine (YMD), and Qingdao Haixi Marine Diesel (QMD).

Klaus Engberg, Senior Vice President and Head of MAN Diesel & Turbo Two- Stroke Licensing, said: ‘‘CSIC is a very important partner for us in China. We have had a license agreement with them since 1980, a collaboration that was furthered just last year with the addition of QMD, which has already successfully landed orders for MAN Diesel & Turbo engines and whose state-of-the-art facility positions them well for future success.”
