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 two-stroke marine engine history began with the pioneering diesel engine work of both MAN and Burmeister & Wain in the early 1900s. Over the following decades, B&W developed highly efficient low-speed crosshead engines that became the standard propulsion system for large merchant ships. In 1980, MAN acquired B&W’s diesel engine business, forming the MAN B&W brand. The launch of the long-stroke MC-series engines in 1982 marked a major milestone, offering improved fuel efficiency and reliability. This was followed by the electronically controlled ME-series in 2002, which further enhanced performance and emissions compliance. Today, MAN B&W two-stroke engines, produced by MAN Energy Solutions⁠ (now Everllence), remain the most widely used marine propulsion engines in the world.

Over the years, Alang Maritime has developed an efficient stocking program and supply chain of MAN B&W cylinder liners, cylinder heads and piston crowns for the popular MC engines, many of which are still powering vessels around the world. 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.
