Concerns
Owners and operators of MAN B&W
Dear Sirs two-stroke engines built during 1990-
2000. Type: MC.
This service letter is a follow-up to our service letter from September
2010 (SL10-534/MFP) informing about a new web page and giving Summary
a status on the Approved Methods (AMs) for MAN B&W two-stroke MAN Diesel & Turbo has developed
‘existing’ engines, and the service letter from November 2009 (SL09- Approved Methods for S50MC and
520/KEA,) which introduced AMs for ‘existing’ engines based on the S60MC and revised the Approved
revised MARPOL Annex VI and the NOx Technical Code 2008. Method for S70MC.
New AMs are introduced for the S50MC and S60MC engine types,
assuming notification of the IMO Secretariat within a short period.
Furthermore, as the introduced AM for the S70MC engine has
caused some confusion for certain classification societies, a revised
AM for the S70MC engine type has been forwarded for notification
specifying the complete layout area (power-speed area) covered by
the AM.
The proposed information for the new IMO Circular now includes
certain performance parameters in the selection criteria additional to
the engine type, the originally delivered fuel nozzle and the included
power-speed range.
The MAN Diesel & Turbo home page on AMs (www.mandieselturbo.

com/AM) will be updated similarly when IMO has been notified.
Yours faithfully

Approved Methods
MAN Diesel & Turbo has developed Approved Methods for
two new engine types, the S50MC and the S60MC within
certain limitations, as specified in detail in the attachment.
Furthermore, due to an expressed uncertainty for the cov-

ered S70MC engines in the already notified AM, a modifi-
cation of the existing circular (MEPC.1/Circ.738 of 19 Oct.
2010) has been made, see also attachment.
Action
It is the shipowner’s obligation (when a vessel renewal sur-
vey is coming up following 1 July 2010) to verify whether an
AM has been released for his engine type.
If an AM is available, the shipowner shall introduce the

AM on-board before the next renewal survey. If no AM is
available, the engine is in compliance, but the Class must
amend the new IAPP informing that no AM exists.

For further advice or clarification, you may contact the en-

gine manufacturer or our PrimeServ department in Copen-
hagen on email: PrimeServ-cph@mandieselturbo.com
