Excellence counts!

GE has been providing aeroderivative marine gas turbines since the 1950s and has amassed extensive
experience serving military and commercial ship applications. GE offers a wide range of engine sizes backed
by continual infusion of new technologies to meet ever-changing customer needs. GE’s design-for-
maintenance approach is supported by global service experts, ensuring these engines remain the market’s
most reliable gas turbines with the lowest lifecycle costs.
Our LM marine gas turbines provide superior availability for diverse military applications including United
States Navy shock-tested designs and lower shock requirements. These reliable engines are ideal for
military ships ranging from 200 to more than 65,000 tons displacement with applications on patrol boats,
corvettes, frigates, destroyers, cruisers, aircraft carriers, amphibious warfare ships, and supply and sealift
ships.
GE marine gas turbines also have been used on commercial ships since the 1990s. These compact,
lightweight engines have the capability to burn a wide variety of fuels, as well as the ability to meet existing
and proposed environmental regulations. These features make GE marine gas turbines ideal for LNG
tankers, container ships, power barges, cruise ships and ferries.
The marine gas turbine family shares extensive pedigree with GE’s reliable industrial aeroderivative
turbines. There are over 5,400 aeroderivative gas turbines operating worldwide, logging more than 150
million hours in marine, power generation, and oil and gas settings. Enjoy this 2021 updated reference book
describing GE marine gas turbine products and services.

Gas turbine based marine cycles

Propulsion plant architecture and prime mover selection is largely based upon the ship’s mission, operating profile
(i.e., time spent at various power levels), and the maximum speed. Other important design considerations include
cost, reliability, maintainability, shock, and noise signature. To those ends, GE has successfully integrated its marine
gas turbines across a wide array of architectures such as the cycle diagrams depicted below.

The ship can attain speeds over 40
knots, and is powered by two, 4.6 MW
GE LM500 engines. The engines and
packages are provided by GE Marine in
partnership with Hanwha Aerospace.

The PKX-B propulsion system realized a

45% reduction in size and weight from
its PKX-A predecessor by optimizing the
