Cummins Onan Boosted By Coastal Trade

Engine distributor, Cummins Diesel (also known as Cummins Onan) is a supplier of marine engines, auxiliary generator sets, marine products. Reports say maritime trade around the coast of southern Africa is stimulating business growth for Cummins as well as port auxiliary vessels, tugs, fishing boats, work-boats, leisure craft and tourist cruise vessels who are being serviced by Cummins’ newly enlarged marine upfit centre.

Cummins’ marine support network goes around the entire southern African coastline but Cummins Onan services destinations far beyond those ports for emergency calls. Cummins workers have been called out to re-power service rigs off the Ivory Coast in West Africa, and to the Seychelles Islands in the western Indian Ocean to supply power units for cargo barges.

The Cummins Onan marine diesel product line expanded to include the largest engine to be manufactured by Cummins, the QSK60M, a 16-cylinder unit producing 1716Kw @ 1800 rpm, and in the the lower-horsepower range are the Cummins QSB5.9M, QSC9M and QSM11 electronic engines, designed for pleasure or commercial boat use.
