The largest oil spill removal organization (OSRO) in the U.S., the Marine Spill Response Corporation (MSRC) has selected Scania engines to power its new fleet of five 47-foot skimmer oil response vessels. Built by Rozema Boat Works, Mount Vernon, Wash., the new vessels will be delivered in 2023. Each will be powered by twin DI13 087M 700 hp Scania engines provided by Seattle-based Cascade Engine Center.
The 47-foot skimmer is the ultimate near-shore response vessel. While its main purpose is to skim and recover oil, it is also capable of towing, pushing barges and functioning as an all-round workboat.
Built on a compacted graphite iron (CGI) engine block and employing a simple wastegate turbocharger, the Scania DI13-liter engines deliver top-of-class performance without the need for additional turbos or superchargers. The resulting lighter weight, combined with Scania’s proprietary engine management system (EMS) and common rail extra high-pressure injection system (XPI), optimizes fuel delivery enabling impressive torque, lower noise and exceptional fuel efficiency.
