Marine Gas Turbine MFT8

Mitsubishi Heavy Industies, Ltd. developed high-efficient, high-reliable and compact, ‘Marine Gas Turbine MFT 8’ for Goverment sponsored project ‘Techno Super Liner’ which is getting much attention as Marine Super Express. As a result we succeeded Sea Trial in '94 and real transportation test including night operation in '95 by using a experimental ship ‘TSL-A70’ which were developed by Mitsubishi and Mitsui. This paper reports these results and the future of Marine Gas Turbine.
