More Middle East Customers Are Choosing PB Series Marine Engines for Fishing and Transport Boats

In May 2026, PINBO POWER continued to expand its overseas marine power export business. A batch of marine diesel engines and matching marine gearboxes was loaded into containers in Jining, Shandong Province, and shipped to overseas customers via Qingdao Port. The products shipped this time are mainly used for power system upgrade projects for coastal transport vessels, fishing boats, and small engineering vessels.

The models delivered include:

PB10C300-18,

PB618C400-21,

PB12C450-21,

PB13C500-18,

and PB13C550-18.

To ensure safe maritime transport, PINBO uses moisture-proof, rust-proof, and reinforced wooden crates for packaging the engines and gearboxes, and completes load testing and oil pressure testing before shipment. The company's logistics department stated that this batch of goods will be shipped to the customer's designated port after customs clearance.

Most customers are from countries near the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea. Local ship owners are paying more attention to fuel economy, stable operation, and easy maintenance. Compared with some expensive European brands, many customers now prefer practical and cost-effective engines that can work continuously under high temperature conditions.

Among the shipped models, the PB12C450-21 and PB13C500-18 were especially popular this year. Several customers use them on medium-sized fishing vessels and cargo boats. One customer mentioned that spare parts availability and simple maintenance were important reasons for choosing the PB series.

Another interesting trend is that some ship repair companies in the Middle East are beginning to keep PB engine spare parts in stock locally. This helps reduce vessel downtime and improves confidence for future purchases.

The PB618C400-21 model was mainly selected for smaller transport boats operating along coastal routes. Customers said they were looking for engines with stable output and lower operating costs.

Meanwhile, the higher-power PB13C550-18 model attracted attention from owners of larger working vessels and multi-day fishing boats. In hot climate environments, cooling performance and engine reliability are always major concerns.

Although the Middle East market has traditionally preferred European marine engines, more buyers are now becoming open to reliable Chinese marine power solutions, especially when delivery time and operating costs are considered.

From our side, we continue receiving inquiries not only for complete marine engines, but also for gearboxes, control systems, filters, turbochargers, and maintenance spare parts.

With increasing demand from shipowners and repair companies, we believe that JINING PINBO IMPORT AND EXPORT CO., LTD. marine engines will continue to expand in the Middle East coastal market in the coming years.
