MAN Energy Solutions' service brand, MAN PrimeServ, and Makita Corporation have signed a three-year agreement to intensify their cooperation.

The common goal of the partnership aims to offer customers worldwide the best possible service within SCR-HP (Selective Catalytic Reducation-High Pressure) systems from MAN Energy Solutions on two-stroke engines license-built by Makita Corporation.

IMO Tier III emission

MAN’s SCR-HP is used on MAN B&W two-stroke engines to meet IMO Tier III emission levels.

More and more vessels are entering service with MAN Energy Solutions’ SCR-HP systems

The smallest and most compact of its kind, it has very low operating costs and is particularly fuel-efficient as the existing exhaust-gas temperature is sufficient and no additional burner is required.

Yu Makita, President of Makita Corporation, said: "We are pleased to take the next step in our cooperation with MAN Energy Solutions and intensify our collaboration with MAN PrimeServ for the benefit of our customers.”

Authority comment

Lukas Wengel, Head of Global Spare-Part Sales, MAN PrimeServ, said: “Following its successful class certification in 2020 and the increasing importance of Tier III environmental regulations, we find that more and more vessels are entering service with MAN Energy Solutions’ SCR-HP systems; indeed we have sold around 80 already.”

I am certain that this new spare-part, strategic cooperation between the MAN PrimeServ service network and Makita Corporation will be of great benefit to owners and operators of SCR-HP systems on Makita-produced engines.”
