Practical knowledge for chief engineers and superintendents — sourcing, cross-reference and overhaul planning for marine spares.
MC-C and ME-C engines built under licence in China share the same drawings as European originals. Here is how to identify licensed sources, check certification, and cut costs without risking quality...

Read guide →Most MAN B&W two-stroke engines sailing today — from the S50MC-C up to the 11S90ME-C — were built under licence in Chinese yards. That means the original drawings and tooling exist in China, and licensed works produce replacement components to identical specifications.
Working with a supplier who has direct access to licensed Chinese works typically saves 30–50% versus European channels, with lead times measured in weeks rather than months. Send us your enquiry list for a comparison quotation.
Alfa Laval's MAB, MAPX and FOPX families are the most common purifiers on board. While bowl sizes differ, the logic of the spare parts list is the same:
Westfalia OSD / OTB and Mitsubishi SJ series follow a similar structure. We supply complete service kits matched to your purifier model and maintenance interval — ask for a kit quotation and stop sourcing piece by piece.
Auxiliary engine failures are the leading cause of vessel off-hire. Before a 20,000-hour overhaul on a Daihatsu 6DK-28, Yanmar 6EY22ALW or MAN 28/32 genset, make sure the following are on board:
We supply complete overhaul kits in a single shipment with one packing list and one set of certificates — send your PMS parts list and we will quote the package.
