Tailored Training for Your MaK™ Engine

Specialized Training Designed Around Your Engine and Operation.

Your MaK™ engine was built to last. So, to help maximize its performance for years to come, we offer engine owners and operators hands-on training from our engineering and maintenance experts.

We know that the way your MaK engine was configured and the way you use it are unique. That’s why we customize our training to fit your needs and truly make a difference. Together, we’ll help you learn your engine inside and out, practice critical maintenance, and train on your monitoring and control systems.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Engine optimization is a tailored upgrade package that combines the technical solution, required spare parts, and compliance support for your specific engine and operating profile. Depending on your needs, upgrades can include retrofit kits—such as updated injection systems, emissions solutions like SCR for NOx reduction, methanol direct injection for CO₂ reduction, and software/controls updates—plus options for digital connectivity and guidance on meeting IMO regulations and class requirements.

We start with your operational goals—fuel savings, compliance, image—and constraints like vessel type, operating profile, and regulatory environment. Our teams then evaluate your engine and use simulation and thermodynamic analysis to recommend a solution that fits your case and budget, giving you a practical path to performance, compliance, and efficiency.

Upgrade kits are designed to be compatible with engines in the field, so all projects do not require a full engine replacement. Installations are planned for manageable effort and minimized downtime. The exact scope and timeline will be determined following an on-site evaluation of your engine configuration.

Yes. Our solutions—SCR Technology, IMO Tier II upgrade, Methanol/ Ethanol direct injection, and more—are engineered to reduce emissions and developed with future regulatory readiness in mind, so you can operate confidently today while preparing for tomorrow.

Every upgrade is verified by our engineering: combustion simulation, thermodynamic analysis, and software-controlled engine management (injection system, turbocharger, control units). Solutions are validated on our test beds under real and extreme conditions, and continuously improved using field data across the product lifecycle.

 
 
 
 
 

Practical Training That Puts You First

 

Small classes. Hands-on training. Led by experts.

 

 

With our training resources, our goal is to give you all the tools you need to think and act like an MaK engine expert. To do that, we offer a mix of theory and hands-on education that helps ensure you understand the systems underpinning your engine’s performance as well as the practical, physical requirements for day-to-day operation and maintenance. Every aspect has been developed in-house and shaped by our team of experienced trainers, skilled technicians, and product engineers—all to deliver real-world expertise that reflects the latest OEM standards.
