The Augsburg-based engine manufacturer – Everllence – formerly MAN Energy Solutions – has received a record order. This comprises the delivery of 42 high-speed engines for the Indian Coast Guard.
The order was placed by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders based in Mumbai. Everllence is to equip 14 ships with 3 16V175D-MM high-speed engines each. The vessels are Fast Patrol Vessels (FPV), which are currently being built for the Indian Coast Guard. The engines each have an output of 2,960 kW and are scheduled for delivery between December 2025 and December 2027.
The FPVs will be equipped with water jet propulsion and are designed for speeds of over 33 knots. They will be used for coastal surveillance, fisheries protection and sea rescue and can also be used for military operations in times of crisis.
Second order from India for Everllence
Waldemar Wiesner, Vice President, Head of Marine and PrimeServ Marine & Power, Middle-East/Africa at Everllence, says: “The 175D has proven to be the right technical choice for this project. The close cooperation with Mazagon Dock’s technical and sales teams was crucial to the successful conclusion of the contract. Our thanks also go to the Indian Coast Guard for their prompt review and approval of the technical documentation.”
The order follows on directly from another major order from India, which Everllence received in April 2025. At that time, the Indian Navy had ordered complete propulsion packages from Hindustan Shipyard for five new FSS (fleet support ships), each consisting of 2 20V32/44CR engines.
Also approved for FAME and HVO
According to Everllence, the 175D engine series was developed to complement and complete its product portfolio in the maritime sector. The three engine variants with 12, 16 and 20 cylinders are available with an output of 1,500 kW to 4,400 kW and are optimized for the propulsion of ferries, offshore supply vessels, tugs and other workboats. Additional, special model variants are available for other market sectors such as superyachts and military marine applications. The 175D is already approved for operation with biofuels such as FAME and HVO.
