Consolidation Continues To Sweep Diesel Engine Industry The maritime diesel engine business continues to be a microcosm of international business trends as evidenced by the massive consolidation effort directed at creating internationally competitive conglomerates, with substantial efforts (and capital) dedicated to producing technologi- cally advanced, environmentally-conscious products. While there are far fewer competitors in the diesel engine segment than just four years ago, having fewer choices does not necessarily hamper ves- sel owner I operators or shipyards, as performance and price competition remains fierce among engine builders and suppliers. The diesel engine business is truly an international one, and those companies positioned for long-term success are equally able to supply a unit for a newbuilding project in the Gulf of Mexico as they are for a re- power in Singapore. Global presence, sales and service is no longer an attractive marketing point, it is the price of admission to growing busi- ness. While international, national and regional environmental regulations continue to tax the budgets of even the highest quality owner /operators, diesel engine manufactures are increasingly called upon to provide eco- nomical solutions, developing and delivering power systems which are environmentally compliant, powerful and efficient. The following is a directory of diesel engine suppliers from around the world, followed by news of recent product introductions.
