The very distinct logo of Mitsubishi – three diamonds – is an homage to the ship’s flag which the company’s forefather, Tsukumo Shokai, adopted when it started the shipping business. While that logo has become famous world wide due to its popularity in the car market, make no mistake that Mitsubishi is very much present in the maritime sector as well with its renowned UEC two-stroke engines. The history of Mitsubishi’s UEC two-stroke marine engines began in the 1950s when Mitsubishi Heavy Industries sought to develop an indigenous low-speed marine diesel engine rather than rely solely on European licenses. The first UEC engines entered service in 1955, marking Japan’s emergence as a designer of large two-stroke marine propulsion engines. Over the following decades, the UEC series evolved through the H, HA, L, LS, LA, and Eco-engine generations, steadily improving power density, fuel economy, reliability, and emissions performance.
