SIBU: More than 70 shipbuilding industry players from throughout the state attended a half day seminar here on March 27, 2014 on the world renowned Yanmar brand’s range of marine diesel engine products.
One of the products introduced to the participants during the seminar is 12AYM-WET, an IMO Tier II compliant and mechanical control engine with horsepower output ratings of 1200ps, 1400ps, 1550ps and 1650ps.
