Marine Diesel Inboard Engine Baudouin 12M26.3 – Up to 1650 HP

Product Overview

The 12M26.3 is a 31.8-liter V12 marine diesel engine. It is engineered for the most demanding maritime environments, such as large tugboats, pusher barges, and deep-sea fishing trawlers. As part of the ".3" generation, it utilizes advanced Common Rail technology to meet modern emission standards while maintaining the legendary mechanical robustness Baudouin is known for.

Key Performance Features

Massive Displacement Torque: With nearly 32 liters of displacement, the 12M26.3 provides exceptional "bollard pull" capability, making it the industry standard for towing and pushing heavy loads.
Individual Cylinder Heads: Designed for commercial efficiency, allowing mechanics to service or replace a single cylinder unit without dismantling the entire engine bank.
Common Rail Efficiency: The high-pressure injection system ensures optimized fuel atomization, resulting in lower fuel consumption and a significant reduction in noise and vibration.
Service Inspection Hatches: The engine block is equipped with side inspection ports, allowing for the inspection of internal components (like big-end bearings) without removing the oil pan.
 
Operating & Maintenance Data

Fuel Consumption: At the continuous P1 rating (1200 hp), the engine is highly efficient, consuming approximately 215–225 L/h at full load.
Cooling System: Features a double-wall fuel pipe and a gear-driven sea water pump. The cooling system is designed for high-intensity, continuous operation in high-ambient temperatures.
Durability: Built with a rigid cast iron block and wet-type liners, ensuring a long life-to-overhaul (LTO) exceeding tens of thousands of hours.
