For operators who prefer a conventional approach, service can also be carried out through Accelleron’s network following established procedures, offering flexibility to meet different customer preferences.

Bulk carrier uptake
Daihatsu Infinearth manufactures more than 400 6DE18 engines a year, with the engine widely adopted on bulk carriers built at global shipyards. Acceptance for the MXP300 turbocharger means that Accelleron is well placed to benefit from the current growth in the sector.

Before the approval of the 6DE18, the MXP300 had been certified in 2024 for use with Daihatsu Infinearth’s dual fuel/LNG engine 6DE20DF.

Accelleron Global Head of Sales and Marketing, Medium & Low Speed, Benoit Viel, said:“Japan is one of the world’s key shipbuilding markets for bulk carriers. We are delighted that our collaboration with Daihatsu Infinearth means that more operators in this segment will now benefit from the reduced lifecycle costs achieved by Accelleron’s service-friendly concept for auxiliary engines.”
