POWERING THROUGHOUT HISTORY
Our history of powering vessels that cruise and
maintain the Suez Canal begins in 1954 when EMD
diesel engines first powered two Suez Canal tugboats
– named the Qirsh and Chadid. The next batch of
three EMD diesel-powered tugs were put into service
in 1962 and 1963 – those tugs are still in operation
today. The tradition continues with many other
customers who work on canal operations relying on
MaK and Cat engines to keep their vessels moving.

Rod Shurman, vice president of the Caterpillar
Oil & Gas and Marine Division (COGMD), says,
“Our marine customers at the Suez Canal and all
over the world are responsible for keeping global
commerce moving, 24-hours a day, every day. It’s
a big responsibility and one that Caterpillar and our
worldwide network of dealers are proud to support.” Ezzat Adel pulling on bow of Ever Given.
Since 1938, Cat Marine has been powering vessels
in ports the world over. We are the marine industry’s
leading provider of medium- and high-speed marine
diesel engines, propulsion solutions, and vessel
monitoring. Yesterday, today and tomorrow, Caterpillar
is committed to providing our customers – whether
on land or sea – what they need, when they need it.
We know our customers will be there when the phone
rings. We’ll help make sure they’re ready to go. ■
