Caterpillar objective is to reach a leading position for our high-speed and medium-speed marine diesel engines in all relevant commercial, ocean-going and pleasure craft markets and application fields. This will be achieved through skilled marketing practices, world-class products and service excellence. To this end, we have consolidated the Cat and MaK engine capabilities into one organization to combine our forces and harness the synergies that will deliver our strategic objectives.

Caterpillar strength and knowledge in diesel engines starts with a combined history of more than 175 years of experience in developing, engineering, building, supporting and servicing. Engines cover a wide range of needs, from single propulsion plants to a complete power package, from auxiliary power to generator sets. The employment of engines for main propulsion, onboard power supply and emergency generator sets varies greatly and extends from pleasure craft to commercial shipping to ocean-going vessels.

The Cat product line offers main propulsion engines from 93 to 5650 ekW, auxiliary engines from 162 to 5420 ekW, and generator sets from 11 to 5200 ekW.

Caterpillar diesel engines feature important qualities which Caterpillar customers expect in today's marketplace. These qualities include high reliability, low operational costs, simple installation and maintenance, and compliance with IMO environmental regulations.
