Marine and power generation
EMD 645 and 710 and ALCO 251 engines outside rail: marine propulsion, dredgers, drilling rigs, standby and prime power. The same parts, the same engineering, with the documentation classification societies and plant auditors ask for.

The locomotive engines EMD and ALCO built also went to sea and into power houses in large numbers. Marine and power variants differ from rail in cooling, exhaust, governing and rating, and they are often maintained by teams who never saw a locomotive. We supply the parts and, where needed, the engineering to confirm which variant you have and what fits it.
Questions we are asked
- Do you supply parts with certificates for a classification survey?
Yes. Material certificates and test reports are quoted per line; tell us the society and the survey requirement.
- Are marine and rail parts interchangeable?
Some are, many are not. Send the engine model and serial; an engineer confirms the variant before the quotation.
Engines we cover
EMD 567
Hover or tap for details
1938 to 1966 production, 6 to 16 cylinders. Switchers, industrial and heritage units, marine. Some assemblies upgrade to 645.
EMD 645
Hover or tap for details
1965 onward, roots blown E and turbocharged E3 and F. The largest EMD population outside North America.
EMD 710
Hover or tap for details
1984 to today, G and G3, mechanical and electronic injection. Not interchangeable with 645 in most assemblies.
ALCO 251
Hover or tap for details
Four stroke, B to F variants, licence built for decades. The mainstay of South Asian fleets and many marine plants.
ALCO 244
Hover or tap for details
The 251's predecessor, surviving in smaller numbers. Parts on request, identification first.
GE 7FDL
Hover or tap for details
8, 12 and 16 cylinder four stroke behind GE export and domestic locomotives on every continent.
GE FDL-16
Hover or tap for details
Sixteen cylinder FDL for the heavier road locomotives; ratings and generations differ.
Industrial and MRO
Hover or tap for details
Valves, seals, bearings, pneumatics, control modules and consumables for plants we already supply.
Cooling and exhaust differ from rail; governing and reversing gear are specific. Send the engine serial and the vessel's class notation.
Constant speed operation changes wear patterns; injection and governing parts matter most. Tell us the rating and the hours.
Kits assembled against your window, shipped ahead to the yard or the plant, with documents for the survey.
Send the engine model and serial and the parts list; we confirm the variant and quote.
