A containerised diesel generator is a complete power unit housed in a modified ISO shipping container, offering long runtimes, noise control, and protection from the elements. These generators are ideal for remote sites, industrial operations, and export use, where durability and mobility are essential.
A 14'000 TEU vessel with a DWT of around 160'000 built after 2015 needs to meet the limit of 14.1 g/dwt/nautical mile. Burn gas instead of HFO because it has less CO2 emissions for the energy equivalent volume burnt. The target vessel speed is a key factor in defining the required main engine power.
Both engines, the X82-B as well as the X92, can be converted for dual fuel operation with the emphasis on the use of LNG. The major retrofitting work on the vessel concerns the installation of the LNG fuel tanks and the fuel gas supply system (FGSS): All three engines can be applied for CMCR 1.
The first 8'500 TEU vessels driven by 12RT-flex96C engines went into operation with 61'900 kW power. Main engines with a power rating above 80'000 kW were installed in 14'000 TEU vessels delivered from 2006 onwards (engine type 14RT-flex96C).
