The debate between marine diesel versus gasoline engines is a hot topic - literally. Both engines turn chemical energy into mechanical energy using an internal combustion process. The marine industry argues for the pros and cons of each engine type, with neither coming up on top. There is a lot of information surrounding the topic, however it is often misleading.
Learn MoreShips come in many shapes and sizes according to what their purpose is and how they are propelled or which engine design they use. Someone might wonder what the difference between a boat and a ship is. Well, the distinction is based on size, shape, load capacity, and tradition— but, there is no universally accepted distinction.
Learn MoreDiesel engines serve as the primary power source for a wide range of marine vessels, including cargo carriers, naval ships, and offshore service platforms. Although these engines share core design principles with their land-based counterparts, marine environments generally introduce unique challenges like salt exposure, high humidity, and extended duty cycles that create a need for specialized components. In this blog, we will explore how key diesel engine parts are used in marine applications, what modifications they may require, and how they can contribute to performance, durability, and safe vessel operation.
