Laborde Products has successfully repowered the M/V Ed, operated by American Commercial Barge Line, with two Mitsubishi Tier 3 S6R-Y3 engines, each producing 684HP @ 1800RPM. This repower replaces the Cummins QSK19 engines, aiming to enhance the M/V Ed's performance. The repower was executed at Bollinger Quick Repair shipyard, ensuring a streamlined transition to the new engines.
American Commercial Barge Line has already begun to enjoy improved performance benefits from the M/V Ed. Laborde Products worked closely with ACBL to ensure the repower process was smooth and met operational needs. Brooks Bourque, Director of Reliability at American Commercial Barge Line, expressed satisfaction with the repower.
"We couldn't be happier with the new Mitsubishi engines on the M/V Ed," he stated. "The performance boost is evident, and Laborde Products made the entire process seamless. Their team was excellent from beginning to end."
Laborde Products takes pride in collaborating with American Commercial Barge Line and Bollinger Quick Repair for this successful repower project. This accomplishment highlights Laborde Products' commitment to delivering high-quality marine engine solutions that meet clients' evolving needs.
"This project exemplifies our team’s expertise and dedication in revitalizing vessels," said Brian Laborde, President and CEO at Laborde Products. "We're proud of the M/V Ed's performance and look forward to more successful projects with American Commercial Barge Line."
