ABC engines are engineered for powerful performance, delivering exceptional reliability and efficiency even in the most demanding marine conditions.
ABC engines are particularly known for their high torque, which makes the engines well suited for vessels that require a lot of traction, including tugboats, fishing boats/trawlers, seismic boats, etc. They are also known as engines with high quality and long maintenance intervals, very low NOx emissions and low fuel consumption.

The DZC series is ABC's best-selling engine series in Norway. The series consists of 6 and 8 cylinder inline engines from 749kW - 2000kW, as well as 12 and 16 cylinder V-engines from 2000kW to 4000kW. The engine's low mean pressure makes it very reliable and safe to operate. It is easy to install, and fits well in tugboats, fishing boats, trawlers and many other applications.
DL 36
The DL36 is ABC's new engine designed for larger vessels. The series currently consists of 6 and 8 cylinder inline engines that deliver from 3120 kW and up to 5200kW. This means that reliability and robustness are still maintained. The DL36 also meets IMO Tier III requirements. The DL36 has 2-stage turbocharging and a radically optimized common rail system.
