Marking a two-stroke engine milestone, Dr. Uwe Lauber, CEO of Everllence<\/a>, recently presented Hapag-Lloyd\u2019s CEO, Rolf Habben Jansen, and managing director fleet, Silke Lehmk\u00f6ster, with a plaque commemorating the company\u2019s order for an Everllence B&W ME-GI dual-fuel engine \u2013 the 1,000th ME-GI ever ordered by the market. The engine, a 7G95ME-GI type, is bound for a container vessel currently under construction at Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. where it is designated as hull #1721.<\/p>\n In the ceremony, which was held at Hapag-Lloyd\u2019s Hamburg headquarters, Habben Jansen said: \u201cWe are proud to mark this milestone with our partner, Everllence. The order for the 1,000th ME-GI engine reflects our commitment to decarbonising global supply chains. Dual-fuel technologies like the ME-GI are a key step on our journey to a low-emission fleet and support our ambition to drive change across the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n Dr Lauber said: \u201cConsidering that the strongest interest in the ME-GI engine has come from the container segment, it is fitting that this significant milestone should be reached with an order from such a prestigious container player as Hapag-Lloyd<\/a>. On the path to net-zero, the marine industry needs pioneers and Hapag-Lloyd is leading the way by example.\u201d<\/p>\n Lauber continued: \u201c2025 has seen a large increase in ME-GI orders as methane makes for an excellent transition fuel on the way to decarbonising shipping. The ME-GI\u2019s market-leading efficiency and technological maturity \u2013 as well as lowest methane slip \u2013 have confirmed its status as the marine industry\u2019s default, dual-fuel, methane-fuelled engine.\u201d<\/p>\n The ME-GI engine was originally introduced in 2014, since when it has been broadly accepted by all marine segments, with the first containership applications being in the two Marlin class containerships built by GD NASSCO for TOTE Maritime<\/a>, the first of which, the Isla Bella<\/em>, was delivered in 2015.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Everllence books order for 1,000th ME-GI engine<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
