Laborde Products, based in Covington, Louisiana, has announced that Mitsubishi Marine Engines has expanded its Tier 3 S12R engine lineup with a new 1350-horsepower rating, now available at both 1,600 and 1,800 RPM.
This new rating joins the existing 1,100-hp and 1,260-hp Tier 3 offerings on the S12R platform, further broadening Mitsubishi’s repower solutions for commercial marine vessels. According to a statement from Laborde, the 1,350-hp option is particularly suited for repower applications in vessels requiring total output in the 2,600–2,800 horsepower range.
Laborde also noted that the same S12R engine is available in a Tier 4 configuration at 1,260 hp, achieved through the integration of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system to meet stricter emissions standards.
A mechanical diesel engine, the S12R has a strong track record in commercial marine operations. Laborde Products, the exclusive distributor of Mitsubishi Marine Engines for the U.S. Gulf Coast and inland waterways, now offers the enhanced S12R model through its dealer network.
