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\u2014GI 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very appropriate that this milestone was reached on the cusp of the Year of the Fire Horse <\/a>\u2013 a particularly auspicious year in the Chinese calendar,\u201d said Bjarne Foldager, head of two-stroke business at Everllence. \u201cChina has been a very important market for us for over a century, just as COSCO is a valued customer.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cEverllence\u2019s dual-fuel strategy has led to multiple world-firsts in terms of oceangoing ships operating on a variety of alternative, low-emission fuels \u2013 confirming our leadership in this crucial marine segment,\u201d continued Foldager. \u201cOur 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.\u201d<\/p>\n 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\u2019s 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.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201c2025 saw a strong order intake for our two-stroke, dual-fuel engines, especially the ME-GI,\u201d said Christian Ludwig, head of global sales & promotion, two-stroke business, at Everllence. \u201cIncreasingly, decarbonization and a general desire for fuel-flexibility as a strategic hedge are pushing their adoption. We have now gathered a decade\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Everllence books milestone dual-fuel two-stroke order<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
