The MTU Series 396 SE was developed specifically for the requirements of submarines. Our newly developed charging unit, based on the MTU Series 12V 4000 is designed to improve the well-known submarine engine characteristics by addressing the advanced submarine requirements.
In addition to the main propulsion system, we also offer complete power supply systems with individual generators and mounting systems. These components are also all available magnetically rule-compensated. Just like our engines, they are specifically optimized to meet customer needs for shock proofing, acoustics, EMC, etc. The integration of customized MTU Ship Automation Systems make a safe, automatic operation of the propulsion systems possible.
Submarines are highly specialized underwater vessels. As an indispensable component of nearly every fleet, they take on a number of tasks – from protecting territorial waters to gathering information on an international scale. Few manufacturers are in the position to fulfill the extremely high technical demands that are placed on submarine engines.
As a trusted partner of shipyards, ship designers and operators, MTU has been perfecting propulsion systems for conventional submarines for decades. In fact, most conventional submarines around the world use MTU engines.
For peak performance, longer life and optimized costs, rely on MTU ValueCare—the only service portfolio designed specifically with your equipment in mind.
