Everllence 175D Engines Power Indian Coast Guard Vessels

Everllence (formerly MAN Energy Solutions) will deliver 14 x 3 x 16V175D-MM high-speed engines to Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders in Mumbai, India, which is building 14 fast patrols vessels (FPVs) for the Indian Coast Guard. Each engine generates 2,960 kW, with the entire order scheduled for delivery between December 2025 – December 2027.

“This project marks a major milestone for Everllence as we enter the Indian Coast Guard market—a highly strategic and demanding customer—and extend our long partnership with Mazagon Dock with another significant order,” said Ben Andres, Head of Sales at Everllence. “We are proud to be part of this collaboration, which not only strengthens our presence in the region but also highlights the trust placed in our 175D engine.”

The Indian Coast Guard will deploy the FPVs for coastal surveillance, protecting fisheries, search-and-rescue operations, and military missions if needed. Each vessel is equipped with waterjet propulsion systems, reaching speeds surpassing 33 knots. Previously, Everllence supplied propulsion packages to Hindustan Shipyard for five fleet support ships, each containing two 20V32/44CR engines.

“The 175D proved to be the right technical choice for this project,” said Waldemar Wiesner, Vice President, Head of Marine and PrimeServ Marine & Power, Middle East/Africa at Everllence. “Close collaboration with Mazagon Dock’s technical and commercial teams was key to securing this important contract. We are thankful to the Indian Coast Guard for its timely scrutiny of technical documents and technical clearance.”

The 175D engine is available in multiple cylinder variants—12, 16, and 20—with outputs ranging from 1,500 – 4,400 kW. It is suited for powering ferries, offshore support ships, tugs, and additional working vessels and other market areas, including superyachts, planning yachts, and naval marine applications, are served by other engine variants. Everllence’s design is also eco-friendly, operating with low fuel-consumption and compliance to the latest exhaust-gas emission standards. The engine is compatible with future-fuel requirements with biofuels clearances on FAME and HVO.

Everllence Operations & Maintenance

Last week, under a signed operation and maintenance (O&M) contract with the Kerrville Public Utility Board (KPUB), Everllence agreed to man and maintain KPUB’s balancing power plant facility in Colorado County, TX, which is currently under construction. KPUB also contracted Everllence to supply six 18V51/60G gas engines and auxiliary equipment, urea, lubricants, logistics, and administration, ensuring cost-efficiency and reliable operation.

The planned 124-MW power plant is the first project funded by the Texas Energy Fund (TEF), helping to minimize volatile electricity tariffs for over 24,000 households and businesses in Kerrville and the surrounding area. TEF supports gas-fired power generation projects across Texas, and KPUB’s plant may begin operation in 2027. The power plant will balance the grid by generating and transmitting fast, flexible power during peak demand or energy shortage periods. It’s located approximately 50 miles from Everllence’s U.S.-based headquarters in Brookshire, TX.

175D Engine Powers Yacht

In July 2025, Everllence received its first order for its dual-fuel methanol engine, 175DF-M, for a superyacht under construction at an undisclosed European shipyard. By July 2027, it will deliver two 12V175DF-M and one 16V175DF-M variable-speed yacht generator sets, including methanol fuel-supply systems.
