Our installation team provided ms. Rumandy with two 530Hp DAF MX13 propulsion systems in 2021. This makes this 80m x 8.2m twin-screw vessel the second Belgian freighter to be equipped with our super clean and highly efficient engines.

Ruddy Meuris says: "Our previous engines were worn out. We were initially looking at CCR2 engines, because the power of Stage V engines remained limited to 390 hp, while I had 500 hp in mind. The Stage V engines from DAF/Paccar could deliver this power. The installation took a little longer because the existing coaming was too thin and other coaming coolers had to be ordered. But everything proceeded in good consultation and in a very pleasant atmosphere. Also, whenever there was a problem or questions, everyone at Vink diesel was ready to help and make it as pleasant as possible for us. It's a top team! We are very satisfied with this installation so far, it delivers a lot of power, much less noise in the accommodation, and is 20% more fuel-efficient."

I would do it again without hesitation! Ruddy Meuris
