Cummins K38-M1200 Marine Engine for Fast Patrol Boats 1200hp High-Speed Propulsion

Accelerate your fast patrol or passenger ferry fleet with the Cummins K38-M1200, a 1200hp high-speed marine diesel engineered for interceptor boats, wind farm CTVs, and 40-knot catamarans. This intermittent-duty V12 prioritizes power density—delivering 1200hp at 2100 rpm from a compact 2.5-ton dry weight package, significantly lighter than comparable 1200-class engines. Key features include twin Holset HX82 turbochargers, an oversized plate intercooler for tropical intake air, and a fuel-optimized ECU that reduces consumption by 12% at cruise throttle. Whether repowering a Damen 5009 patrol boat or installing into a new-build aluminum ferry, the K38-M1200 meets IMO Tier II with selective catalytic reduction readiness. Complete marine packages include ZF 3050-1 V-drive ratios, Aquadrive CV joints, and a water-jacketed exhaust elbow for engine room heat reduction. Backed by a 12-month international warranty and supported by Cummins global service networks. Express dispatch from China with commissioning assistance available.
