Rolls-Royce at SMM 2026

The new mtu Series 2000 variable-speed generator sets will be the most important news under the SMM Rolls-Royce spotlights. They offer industry-leading power density and enable up to 15 per cent lower fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions compared to constant speed gensets. The variable speed adapts optimally to different load profiles – ideal also for electric and hybrid vessels that demand maximum efficiency, reliability and flexibility.

The Benefits of 8V and 16V Series 2000 gensets

Noise and vibration levels are also reduced, which significantly enhances on-board comfort. The product range comprises compact and powerful units from 8V to 16V variants, perfect for passenger ferries, SAR vessels, offshore support vessels, yachts and patrol boats.

This range is complemented by the new SCR exhaust after-treatment solution, which meets the strictest IMO Tier III emission standards and paves the way for sustainable shipping.

Rolls-Royce also sets the standard in the field of automation: with mtu NautIQ, bridge solutions and data analytics, ship operators are empowered to manage their fleets safely, efficiently and sustainably – whether for newbuilds or retrofits.

The service portfolio supports customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their vessels: extended maintenance intervals, in-situ maintenance and industry-leading warranties ensure maximum availability and cost-effectiveness.
