UK: EP Barrus and Yanmar Europe BV Launch New Range of Yanmar High-Speed Engines

In a joint initiative with Yanmar Europe BV, EP Barrus Ltd launched a new range of Yanmar commercial high-speed engines at Seawork 2011. The Yanmar high-speed diesels offer a propulsion and auxiliary power range from 12hp (8.8kW) to 911hp (670kW) and have type approval by the six major shipping classification societies.

Simon Cooke, Southern Area Sales for Barrus reported: “We chose Seawork to launch the Yanmar High Speed Commercial Engines and, quite apart from the huge amount of interest the engines have generated at the exhibition, we have also sold two 800hp units as a direct result of being at the exhibition, in deals worth in the region of £150,000. Seawork is unique. It’s a genuine commercial marine exhibition for serious people who know what they’re looking for.”
