Completion of the first 6UEC50LSH-Eco-C3-EGR engine

Japan Engine Corporation has been providing many UEC50LSH-Eco-C2 engines to the market, as the first engine started service in Sept. 2015.
On Sept. 7, 2021, the first set of 6UEC50LSH-Eco-C3-EGR engine, fully-electronically controlled for fuel injection and exhaust valve drive, completed its official shop trial and overhaul inspection.

This engine will be installed on a chemical tanker built by Shin Kurushima Dockyard Co., Ltd and owned by Iino Kaiun Kaisha Ltd.
The UEC50LSH-Eco-C3 engine is optimized by fully-electronically control system for exhaust valve drive as well as fuel injection, and realizes less fuel consumption comparing with UEC50LSH-Eco-C2 contributing to achieve EEDI phase 3, an index of CO2 emission reduction. The UEC50LSH-Eco-C2 engines have been building up good service results and the new UEC50LSH-Eco-C3 model will also be expected by following the current model's reliability securing future orders.
Its power range is the same as UEC50LSH-Eco-C2 and optimized for various types of vessels, chip carriers, Supramax bulk carriers, Handysize bulk carriers, MR tankers and feeder container vessels as well as chemical tankers.

The 6UEC50LSH-Eco-C3 engine is equipped with a low-pressure EGR system to comply with NOx Tier Ⅲ regulations. The low-pressure EGR system was also applied for UEC50LSH-Eco-C2 and UEC60LSE-Eco-A2 engines with building up stable service results.

Japan Engine Corporation, as a global/integrated licensor covering development, designing, production, sales and after-sales service, will forward its activities providing with environmentally-friendliness and fuel economy.
