MarPrime: the measuring of a legend


In an unusual event on the occasion of the MARIDIS trade fair participation at SMM 2016, MarPrime system was tested with an original Diesel engine of the inventor Rudolf Diesel – 111 years old and running.

Rudolf Diesel developed and constructed the worldwide first Diesel engine. Under his guidance, 40 different Diesel engines were built: The 33rd of the DM 20 single cylinder engine series was presented at the SMM trade fair in Hamburg. MARIDIS used this opportunity for a full MarPrime measurement. The spectacular measuring procedure received a lot of attention by ship owners and potential customers. Even for Diesel specialists like the MARIDIS staff, this historic encounter was an amazing experience.
