���Many vessels have problems uniformly spreading chain into
the chain locker which are often too shallow, and it often piles
up and chokes the hawse pipe.
ECS solves the problem and spreads the chain by means of an
oscillating motorized tube which starts automatically when the
winch is powered up. When lowering the chain, the tube stays in
a central position.���

MAN released two fully classified marine diesel engines,
the D2868 LE421 and LE422, for medium and heavy-duty
operation, at the recent SMM maritime trade fair in Hamburg.
The high-speed engines from Nuremberg employ state-of-theart common-rail technology to meet the most widely applicable
exhaust-gas standards.
The MAN D2868 is the first eight-cylinder diesel engine with
common-rail technology for medium and heavy-duty operation.
The high-speed engine complies with the most important
exhaust-gas standards worldwide, and offers improved fuel
consumption with even lower noise emissions.
Full classification by the major societies expands the range
of operating options to ship owners and captains. The D2868
LE423 for light-duty operation, is already established in the
market.
The heavy-duty D2868 LE421 is the marine diesel engine
for applications requiring up to 100 percent full load over
unlimited periods of time, with outputs 441 kW (600 hp)
at 1800 rpm. The D2868 LE421 expands MAN���s range of
new-generation high-speed diesel engines towards the lower
end of the power output spectrum. Designed primarily for
installation in tugs, push boats and heavy working vessels, the
D2868 LE421 is an efficient eight-cylinder engine offering
reliable operation with minimal service costs and low fuel
consumption.
