For decades, thousands of MTU 2000 m72  Diesel engines have been at sea, in rivers and lakes around the world. They perform reliably and efficiently as main or ancillary drive systems and provide energy as on-board power supply systems. Their performance, power and reliability has been proven time and time again. Their longevity is unmatched. Naturally, all MTU engines comply with the requirements of all relevant classification societies.
