What This Engine Is Built For
The Cummins MTAA11 is a 6-cylinder in-line marine diesel engine of 10.8 L with a 125 * 147 mm bore and stroke supplied by MEP Power as a complete assembly. It is rated at 380 HP at 1500rmp. The engine is turbocharged/charge air cooled and water cooled, with a Cummins PT Pump, Direct Injection fuel system. Typical duty is propulsion and auxiliary duty on workboats, fishing vessels, tugs and barges; dry weight with flywheel and alternator is 1007 Kg and the overall envelope is 1306mm*914mm*1280mm.
Key Benefits
- Delivers 380 HP at 1500rmp from 10.8 L as a factory-rated assembly.
- Turbocharged/Charge Air Cooled induction with water cooling keeps charge temperature under control in continuous duty.
- Dry weight 1007 Kg and envelope 1306mm*914mm*1280mm are published so the installation can be checked before ordering.
- Published fuel consumption of 188 g/Kw.h Max. Running Altitude: 1500 m makes running cost predictable.
- Starts without auxiliary aids down to -12℃ Engine Coolant Volume: 9.5 L.
- Backed by a written warranty of one year or 1000 hours, whichever comes first
Application Scenarios
- Main propulsion in a steel workboat
- Auxiliary and deck machinery drive
- Fishing vessel repower
- Harbour tug and pilot boat service
Who It Is For
- Shipyards repowering workboats and fishing vessels
- Boat owners replacing a worn main engine without changing the engine bed
- Marine service yards that keep exchange engines on the shelf
- Fleet operators standardising on one Cummins family across several hulls
Problems It Solves
- A vessel out of service earns nothing, and a mismatched replacement engine means new mounts, new couplings and weeks of yard time.
- Marine duty punishes engines that were never cooled for sea water service.
- Spare parts for grey-import engines are hard to identify years later.
- Identifying the right MTAA11 variant from a serial number takes experience; MEP Power checks the configuration before quoting.

How It Compares
| Compared with | What to consider |
|---|---|
| A larger engine in the same MTAA11 range | Moving up a frame size adds weight, envelope and fuel burn; specify the next size up only if the duty cycle really needs the headroom. |
| A non-Cummins engine of similar output | Parts and service for Cummins families are available in most markets, which matters more over ten years than the purchase price on day one. |
