MAN B&W L23/30H generator engine damage

INJEGOV Turkey received an emergency call to evaluate major damage on a MAN B&W L23/30H on a product tanker in Istanbul anchorage. Our marine experts in the Turkish facility immediately supplied a boarding team of one Senior supervisor and three technicians for onboard inspection.

Inspection of MAN B&W L23/30H on board

Upon inspecting the damage, the INJEGOV riding team determined that generator type MAN B&W 23/30h suffered connecting rod and piston seizure leading to the engine block and crankshaft being beyond repair. We dismantled the engine and transferred the parts to our local mechanical workshop for further measurements and inspection.

Despite heavy damage in various engine parts, INJEGOV advised that some components could be repaired, leading to the following works:

MAN B&W 23/30H solutions

After consultation with the owners, we determined that a complete engine supply was the most advantageous solution.

Thus, our procurement department supplied a new engine directly from our spare parts stock in Piraeus. With the new MAN B&W L23/30H engine, INJEGOV supplied all consumable parts required for the overhaul, including bearings, piston rings, gaskets, and o-rings.

With the collaboration of both our workshops for quotation specification, the new MAN B&W L23/30h engine was completely dismantled, overhauled, and inspected. Our team packed all parts in Piraeus, Greece, ready to be transferred into the vessel. Our workshop team took every care to ensure the project was handled timely and efficient.

Furthermore, INJEGOV assisted with the logistics, including floating crane hire, tracks, and customs clearance. INJEGOV plans to send a riding team to install and assemble the engine on board the vessel, commission it, and deliver it to the owner.
