Bukh Diesel Engine Manuals - MARINE DIESEL BASICS

Manuals for Bukh Diesel Engines

Bukh engines are found in most of the lifeboats of commercial ships around the world, and produce engines ranging in size from 10 to 48 hp.

The current company Bukh AS, which is based in Denmark and privately owned, was formed in 2010 by the amalgamation of Motorfabriken Bukh A/S and Aabenraa Motor-fabrik Heinrich Callesen A/S which took place in 1995.

Aabenraa was founded in 1899 and produced diesels for fishing boats and freighters.

Bukh was founded in 1904 as Bukh & Gry by Jens Bukh and John Gry who created one car model before producing their first diesel in 1910 and then focusing on engines for industrial engines, tractors and small boats.
