MD196T
Purpose-built for heavy workloads, the MD196T heavy-duty rating focuses on dependable thrust and predictable ownership. Its 11.1-liter mechanically governed inline-six is tuned for long duty cycles—ideal for cargo dhonis, utility barges, and landing craft that run hard and carry weight.
The calibration prioritizes temperature control and component longevity under sustained load. A stout rotating assembly and marine-tuned cooling deliver stable output during slow-speed pushing, towing, and harbor maneuvers where heat soak can challenge lighter engines.
Installation is practical. The engine’s footprint suits many repower beds, and the straightforward mechanical systems simplify integration, wiring, and redundancy planning. Routine service points—filters, belts, zincs—are easy to reach, keeping maintenance quick between shifts.
In service, expect firm low-end torque for controlled docking, steady bollard pull when working against wind and current, and efficient cruise where fuel economy and schedule reliability matter most. For operators who value rugged simplicity over gadgetry, the MD196T heavy-duty package offers a proven path to uptime with IMO Tier I compliance baked in.
