Baudouin marine engines are purpose-developed propulsion systems for commercial vessels operating under demanding marine conditions. With more than a century of marine engineering experience, Moteurs Baudouin produces commercial marine diesel engines for fishing boats, tugboats, workboats, ferries, passenger vessels, inland-waterway craft and high-performance applications.
The current propulsion range extends from the compact Baudouin 6W105M, rated from 185 to 228 hp, through medium-duty models such as the Baudouin 6M16 and Baudouin 6M21.3. Higher-output options include the six-cylinder Baudouin 6M26.3, the V12 Baudouin 12M26.3 and the powerful Baudouin 12M55, providing solutions for vessels requiring approximately 185 to 3,450 hp.
Rather than selecting by maximum horsepower alone, buyers should match the engine to its intended operating profile. Baudouin ratings include continuous, heavy-duty, intermittent, light-duty and high-performance applications. A heavy-duty marine propulsion engine for a tugboat or fishing vessel has a different operating requirement from an engine powering a fast passenger craft, patrol boat or recreational yacht.
Available technologies vary across the range and may include common-rail fuel injection, electronic engine management, turbocharging and SCR aftertreatment. Models such as the 6M21.3 SCR, 6M26.3 SCR and 12M26.3 SCR are available for regulated operating regions. The exact emissions certification—such as IMO II, IMO III, EPA or RCD—must be checked against the selected model, power rating and vessel application.
A quotation for a Baudouin diesel engine for sale should identify the exact model, rated output, operating speed, duty classification, emissions certification and proposed marine gearbox. Buyers should also confirm the control system, instrumentation, cooling arrangement, exhaust components, flexible mounts, optional accessories, warranty conditions, availability of genuine Baudouin engine parts, production lead time and delivery terms.
