Marine Machinery and Equipment

Kawasaki produces a wide array of marine machinery and equipment, including main engines, propulsion systems, steering gears, deck and fishing machinery.

The Company is proud of its UA-type marine steam turbine, which holds the largest market share in the main engine market for LNG carriers, as well as such other products in this sector as diesel engines, controllable pitch propellers and a full range of propulsion systems. To reinforce the production and sale of side thrusters and azimuth thrusters, the Company has established a Chinese joint venture, Wuhan Kawasaki Marine Machinery Co., Ltd. in Wuhan, Hubei Province.

Another global leader in this industry, Kawasaki Precision Machinery Ltd. (KPM), has delivered the world’s largest number of electrohydraulic marine steering gears.
