First G45 type with EGR bypass

MAN ES licensee Mitsui has successfully delivered the first MAN B&W G45 type to feature an EGR bypass. The Makita-built 6G45ME-C9.7-EGRBP will be the first of its type worldwide to feature EGR bypass, which allows the engine to match EGR operation to engine load to deliver the required NOx emissions reduction. The first reference with Accelleron’s A255-L turbocharger will be deployed on a 40,000 DWT bulk carrier for Japanese shipyard.
