SEMT ピルスティク
SEMT Pielstick has also been involved in a number of export programs, such as the Saudi F 3000 S frigates (Sawari II program) and the Sigma class frigates for the Moroccan Navy (2 x 20 PA6B STC). Thanks to Fairbanks Morse Engines, license holder in the United States, SEMT Pielstick engines have also been chosen by the US Navy, the largest and most demanding customer in the sector. The 16-cylinder PC2.5 STC engine has been selected by the US Navy for its San Antonio-class LPD 17 troop transporters, which are each equipped with four engines and can carry up to 800 marines. The PA and PC engines have enjoyed considerable success in countries around the world (including China, Canada, India, Britain, South Korea, Indonesia and Russia, along with the Japanese maritime safety agency) and are used by 60 navies to power their ships. It is a story that still continues today, thanks to the efforts of licensees.
