MAN Energy Solutions<\/a> has announced that it will deliver the world’s most powerful two-stroke methanol engine in June 2025. The engine, an MAN B&W 12G95ME-C10.5-LGIM (-Liquid Gas Injection Methanol) type rated at 82,440 kW @ 80rpm, is currently being built by Chinese licensee, CSSC-MES Diesel Co., Ltd. (CMD).<\/p>\nThe engine is the first of 12 bound for a series of 12 \u00d7 24,000 teu container vessels currently under construction: seven at Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering Co., Ltd. (NACKS) for shipowner, Orient Overseas Container Line Ltd. (OOCL); and five at Dalian COSCO KHI Ship Engineering Co., Ltd. (DACKS) for shipowner, COSCO Shipping Lines Co., Ltd. Each engine will also feature MAN Energy Solutions\u2019 proprietary EGRTC (Exhaust Gas Recirculation Turbocharger Cut-\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00adout) emissions system, the largest two-string EGR system on a two-stroke engine to date.<\/p>\n
Bjarne Foldager \u2013 Head of Two-Stroke Business \u2013 MAN Energy Solutions, said: \u201cAt MAN Energy Solutions, our vision of ‘Moving Big Things to Zero’ motivates everything we do in developing the engine technology to operate on those fuels vying for prominence in the future market. This latest, remarkable milestone \u2013 the world\u2019s most powerful methanol engine \u2013 is just the latest fulfilment of that. By harnessing the potential of methanol, we are bringing the maritime industry closer to zero-emission solutions and we fully expect methanol to figure prominently as a future-fuel across all segments. Our thanks go to CMD, OOCL and COSCO Shipping, valued partners with whom we continue to share so many highlights.\u201d<\/p>\n
Christian Ludwig \u2013 Head of Two-Stroke Sales and Promotion \u2013 MAN Energy Solutions, said: \u201cAs we move towards a multi-fuel future, interest in methanol has grown steadily. To date, between newbuild engines and retrofits, we have won over 230 ME-LGIM references that have accumulated over 600,000 hours running on methanol alone. With ME-LGIM technology reaching 10 years in the market, it represents mature, proven technology and reflects MAN Energy Solutions\u2019 ability to develop attractive technology to enable shipping\u2019s carbon transition. Furthermore, while methanol produced from renewable sources is an attractive marine-fuel option due to its low carbon-intensity, an engine using green methanol can even provide carbon-neutral propulsion \u2013 adding to the benefits the ME-LGIM brings to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
