The 7-cylinder 58-type marine diesel engine built by Dalian Marine Diesel Engine Factory has passed various tests and has been successfully delivered. The low-speed diesel engine uses an electronically controlled common rail oil supply system with a maximum output of 15260 kW and will be installed on a 110,000-ton oil tanker built by Dalian New Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. for Denmark's TORM. This is the world's first electronically controlled common rail marine diesel engine. Its successful production has made Dalian Marine Diesel Engine Factory and Japan and South Korea stand on the same starting line. It is also an important symbol for the improvement of Dalian shipbuilding supporting capacity.
The diesel engine is the main engine of the ship, also known as the "heart" of the ship. The electronically controlled common rail diesel engine is the perfect combination of modern advanced electronic technology and traditional mechanical power technology, and represents the development direction of contemporary marine mainframes. From the development trend of the world shipping industry in recent years, the electronically controlled common rail diesel engine is slowly replacing the traditional mechanical model, paving the way for the complete intelligentization of the ship engine.
