MTU Asia delivers uncompromising engine power solutions to city state
As one of the first engine suppliers to the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) in the 1970s, MTU Asia upheld the development of Singapore as a global leader and world-class marine and offshore hub. Providing power and engine parts not just to RSN but also to the Singapore Police Coast Guard and several ferry operators, MTU Asia has gained significant experience from tapping the base of the island city state's marine engineering sector.
