<strong>MAN</strong> B&W Units Power Brazilian Resurgence<br />
Suezmax tanker latest vessel in oil transport fleet<br />
On 20 May, 2013, <strong>MAN</strong> <strong>Diesel</strong> & <strong>Turbo</strong> representatives attended the<br />
delivery ceremony of the Suezmax tanker ‘Zumbi dos Palmares’.<br />
Powered by an <strong>MAN</strong> B&W 6S70ME-C type prime mover and 3 × <strong>MAN</strong><br />
7L23/30H auxiliary engines, the vessel is the second ship built by<br />
Estaleiro Atlantico Sul (EAS) stemming from the Brazilian Government’s<br />
PROMEF shipbuilding program.<br />
The ceremony took place at the EAS shipyard, in north-eastern Brazil, and was<br />
attended by the President of Brazil – Dilma Rouseff, President of Petrobras – Maria<br />
das Graças Silva Foster, and President of Transpetro – Sergio Machado.<br />
“We are proud to participate in this new chapter of Brazilian shipbuilding history”, said<br />
Lincoln de Sousa, <strong>Diesel</strong> Division director of <strong>MAN</strong> <strong>Diesel</strong> & <strong>Turbo</strong> in Brazil who also<br />
attended the ceremony. He continued: “We want to congratulate Transpetro on the<br />
successful launch and are confident that our engine will contribute to a successful<br />
working life for the new tanker. To this end, we have already trained some of the<br />
Zumbi dos Palmares crew on various aspects of the engine’s operation at our <strong>MAN</strong><br />
Primeserv Academy in Rio de Janeiro.”<br />
At the ceremony, Transpetro also announced the reactivation of contracts for 12 ships<br />
to be constructed by EAS. The latest newbuilding is one of 10 Suezmax vessels EAS<br />
is contracted to produce.<br />
Transpetro is Brazil’s largest hydrocarbon transportation company and a fully owned<br />
subsidiary of Petrobras, the local energy multinational. Under PROMEF (Program for<br />
Modernization and Expansion of the Fleet), Transpetro has ordered a total of 28<br />
ships, all to be equipped with <strong>MAN</strong> B&W two-stroke prime movers. Each engine has<br />
an output of circa 22,000 hp.<br />
The Zumbi dos Palmares has a payload of one million barrels of crude oil, equivalent<br />
to half of Brazil’s daily production, and will primarily sail long, international routes.<br />
Immediately after the ceremony, the tanker started its maiden voyage, departing<br />
