- Regional ferry operator upgrading a 45 m steel passenger vessel
Overview
A ferry operator running an inter-island route needed more speed and reliability on a 45 m vessel. MARS supplied two high-speed marine diesels with matched transmissions as a complete propulsion package.
Challenge
The route demanded a higher service speed while keeping fuel burn under control. The engine room had limited height, so overall engine dimensions and exhaust routing were critical, and the schedule had to fit a short annual survey period.
Solution
| Item | Model | Qty |
|---|---|---|
| Marine diesel engine | SDEC SC33W1000CA2, 680–1100 HP class, high-speed | 2 |
| Marine gearbox | Advance HCD800 series | 2 |
| Control and monitoring | Engine monitoring panels, alarm system, wiring | 2 sets |
| Cooling and exhaust | Heat exchangers, sea-water pumps, exhaust silencers | 2 sets |
Scope of supply
Dimensional check against the engine-room drawing, engine-gearbox matching, factory performance test with report and video, export packing, CIF Surabaya, and technical support during installation.
Outcome
The vessel returned to service within the survey window with a higher service speed. The operator has asked for a maintenance-parts agreement covering both engines.
Customer names are withheld; the case describes a typical supply scope built from products in the MARS catalogue.
