Powered by Bergen KVGS-G4 gas engines the environmentally friendly Norwegian coastal ferries can carry 198 cars and 530 passengers
Bergen K & K-G4

The Bergen K with 250mm bore and 300mm stroke is available as a diesel in 6,8 and 9 cylinder in-line configurations for propulsion and auxiliary duties. The diesel power range is from 1215-2005 kW.


Bergen KVGS-G4 gas engine generator set similar to those that will power Norwegian gas-fuelled coastal ferries

Also available as a gas engine for powers from 1190 – 3970kW the Bergen K-G4 lean burn gas engine is the result of careful development based on the highly successful K type diesel and heavy fuel oil engine parent.

Features and benefits:

  • Rigid crankcase minimises deformations and ensures good main bearing alignment
  • BMEP 20-22 bar (gas engine 18bar)
  • Low wear and long component life
  • Low lub oil consumption approx 0.8g/kWh
  • Low specific fuel consumption 193-196 g/kWh (8060kj/kWh gas) due to latest turbocharger design and modern fuel injection technology

The lean burn principle of the K-G4 gas engines operation is unique in its combination of high power and high efficiency coupled with reduced exhaust emissions, and delivers a specific fuel consumption of 7990-8060kj/kWh.

The engine has a design life of more than 20 years and engines are installed in more than 150 power plants throughout the world.
