Houston, Texas – Caterpillar Marine today announced the delivery of the first Cat® C32B 2433 mhp engines to Cat dealer Gregory Poole in North Carolina.  Building on the experiences gained with high performance applications, the highly anticipated C32B product line will be available as a 12-cylinder in a range of power options from 1800 to 2400bhp (1825-2433 mhp). Additional benefits include a comfortable user experience by providing operation on a low noise and vibration level and supporting boatbuilders with an easy installation for optimized assembly processes.

"We’re pleased to work with several of our dealers, including Gregory Poole here, as we start placing the C32B into new vessel and repower projects.  This reaffirms Caterpillar’s commitment to the yachting and sport fishing segments,” said Allen Bowman, Caterpillar Marine Product Strategy lead for C32B.

These state-of-the-art engines will also be available with the newly enhanced Cat Concierge program for unparalleled and personalized 24/7 global remote support.
