Everllence books milestone dual-fuel two-stroke order

Everllence reports that it has received its 2,000th order for a dual-fuel engine from its two-stroke portfolio. COSCO Shipping Lines placed the milestone order. It is for an Everllence B&W 8G95ME—GI Mk. 10.5 main engine featuring EcoEGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), and as part of an order for 12 such engines for a series of 12 x 18,000 TEU container vessels currently under construction at Chinese shipbuilder Jiangnan Shipyard (Group) Co., Ltd.

“It’s very appropriate that this milestone was reached on the cusp of the Year of the Fire Horse – a particularly auspicious year in the Chinese calendar,” said Bjarne Foldager, head of two-stroke business at Everllence. “China has been a very important market for us for over a century, just as COSCO is a valued customer.”

“Everllence’s dual-fuel strategy has led to multiple world-firsts in terms of oceangoing ships operating on a variety of alternative, low-emission fuels – confirming our leadership in this crucial marine segment,” continued Foldager. “Our dual-fuel engines are showcases for environmentally friendly, reliable propulsion technology with seamless switching between fuels. On the path to net-zero, the marine industry needs willing partners and our thanks go to COSCO for its custom and friendship.”

Everllence says that, currently, just over half of its order book is dual-fuel measured in engine power. The 2,000-engine figure is a cumulative total for all engine orders from the company’s mature, efficient two-stroke portfolio that includes ME-GI (methane), ME-LGIM (methanol), ME-GIE (ethane), ME-LGIP (LPG), and the recently announced ME-LGIA (ammonia) engines.

“2025 saw a strong order intake for our two-stroke, dual-fuel engines, especially the ME-GI,” said Christian Ludwig, head of global sales & promotion, two-stroke business, at Everllence. “Increasingly, decarbonization and a general desire for fuel-flexibility as a strategic hedge are pushing their adoption. We have now gathered a decade’s worth of invaluable, dual-fuel service experience and operational data with which to further improve the technology. In the same vein, we are also delivering more digitally-connected engines that enable remote monitoring and provide impeccable data, allowing our shore-based engineers to make prompt recommendations on optimising engine performance in real time. We remain convinced that this strategy is the right one on the voyage to a low-emission fleet.”
