Formed in 1980 with the acquisition of Danish engine developer B&W (Burmeister & Wain) by engineering firm MAN AG (Maschinenfabriek Augsburg-Nurnberg), MAN B&W is the most prolific engine maker in the marine industry. MAN B&W’s four-stroke marine engine history traces its roots to the pioneering diesel work of MAN and Burmeister & Wain in the early 20th century, including the four-stroke engines that powered the famous merchant ship M/S Selandia in 1912. Following MAN’s acquisition of B&W’s diesel business in 1980, the company developed a new generation of four-stroke engines during the 1980s, including the L40/54, L48/60, and L58/64 series, which combined high efficiency, reliability, and compact design for propulsion and power-generation applications. The successful 32/40 series followed in 1992. The acquisition of Holeby also brought in the ultra-popular L23/30H and L28/32H engines. Over the decades, MAN B&W four-stroke engines became the most widely used engines in the maritime industry, establishing a strong reputation for fuel economy, durability, and operational flexibility.

Alang Maritime also believes in flexibility when it comes to stocking engine parts and thus offers a wide range of spare parts for MAN B&W engines – be it a tiny nozzle or a crankshaft. Alang Maritime prides itself on supplying high quality parts and that’s why the MAN B&W parts we supply are tested, measured and technically sound, prolonging the life of your engines.
