Introduced during the 1970s as the smallest member of Daihatsu’s DS series, the DS-18 was developed to provide efficient power for auxiliary generator sets on small to medium-sized commercial vessels. With a cylinder bore of 180 mm and a stroke of 280 mm, the engine was engineered to achieve stable combustion, moderate fuel consumption and consistent performance. The DS-18 was installed as a generator-drive engine on cargo ships, fishing vessels, coastal tankers and various utility crafts. The engine typically produced outputs in the range of roughly 300 kW to about 700 kW at operating speeds of around 720–900 rpm. Like other engines in the DS series, the DS-18 incorporated a rugged crankcase design, mechanical fuel-injection equipment and the ability to operate on marine diesel oil or heavier fuel grades. 

Although newer Daihatsu engine series have since been developed, the DS-18 continues to operate on a few older ships and remains supported through original equipment manufacturer supply channels, aftermarket spare-parts producers and specialized marine engine service providers. With original parts from our own stock, along with access to unused surplus from ship recycling yards and local suppliers, Alang Maritime can supply high quality parts for your Daihatsu DS-18 engines.
