GE Marine for Panama Canal New Tug Boats (USA)


A business unit of GE Transportation recently announced an order for 28 of its Model 8L250 Marine engines to power 14 new tug boats commissioned by the Panama Canal Authority. This marks the third order by the authority for GE Marine engines to power its fleet. The first order for 26 GE Marine Model 12V228 engines was placed in 2008 to power 13 vessels that are now in service. A second order was placed in 2009 for an additional four Model 12V228 engines for tugs still being built. GE Marine engines are designed for availability, performance and low life-cycle cost. GE CEO for Central America and the Caribbean, Mr. Hector Aguilar , said that, “For more than 100 years, GE has built a strong relationship with the Panama Canal Authority providing and offering the highest technology and services”.
