MTU Marine Engines

Source high-performance MTU propulsion systems for Australian yachts, commercial vessels and demanding marine operations, backed by global sourcing capability.

High-Performance Propulsion for Demanding Marine Applications

MTU, part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems, occupies a premium position in high-performance marine propulsion. Its marine portfolio spans the Series 2000, Series 4000, Series 1163 and Series 8000, covering applications from fast yachts and ferries to patrol craft, commercial vessels and other demanding marine platforms. The published marine power range extends from approximately 720 kW to 10,000 kW, depending on series and application.

Brisbane Marine can source MTU propulsion equipment for Australian customers requiring serious marine power, whether for a new vessel, replacement project, repower or commercial procurement. We can work around the complete requirement rather than supplying an engine in isolation, taking into consideration the vessel’s power demand, duty profile, propulsion arrangement, control requirements and supporting systems.

From Fast Yachts to Heavy-Duty Marine Power

MTU’s Series 2000 is engineered for high-performance vessels and delivers 720–1,939 kW (966–2,600 bhp), while Series 4000 extends to 4,300 kW (5,766 bhp). Larger Series 1163 and Series 8000 platforms address substantially higher power requirements, with the Series 8000 reaching 10,000 kW (13,410 bhp) in the published marine range.

The capability goes beyond propulsion engines. MTU and Rolls-Royce also provide integrated marine solutions involving automation, propulsion systems, generator sets and lifecycle support. Current marine generator-set solutions based on Series 2000 and 4000 engines extend to 3,015 kWe, while MTU’s bridge-to-propeller approach integrates engines with propulsion and automation technologies.
