The Najla McCall is propelled by a quintet of Cummins QSK 60, EPA Tier 3 compliant diesel engines, each producing 2,680 brake horsepower (bhp), and can achieve a speed of more than 38k.
The engine is supplemented by Twin Disc MGX 61500 SC reverse reduction gearboxes, driving Hamilton HT-810 water jets through a shafting system by the Driveline Service of Portland.
The vessel’s station-keeping capability is supported by a combination of three Thrustmaster 30TT200 electric-mechanical tunnel thrusters, coupled with the azimuth-like waterjets, all of which are controlled by a Kongsberg K-Pos DP-2 dynamic positioning system.
