What is a cylinder liner? A guide for shipowners, operators, and marine engineers For shipowners, operators and marine engineers, understanding the function of cylinder liner within large marine engines is crucial for maintaining efficiency, reliability, and compliance in today’s maritime industry. In this article, we explore precisely what is cylinder liner, its importance in two-stroke Read more

In two-stroke marine engines, scavenging air isn’t just for clearing combustion gases—it plays a crucial role in oil distribution. The swirling air helps to disperse lubricant evenly across the cylinder liner. But achieving this balance is complex, especially under varying load conditions. Poor scavenging leads to localised wear, excess oil consumption, and higher emissions. By Read more
