MALE Energy Solutions has actually revealed that its male B&W ME-GA engine– the most recent enhancement to its dual-fuel profile– has actually landed 40 orders because its market introduction in March 2021. The firm connects the order rise to the marketplace’s need for the most recent generation of Otto- cycle, two-stroke engines as well as the reduced degrees of methane slide it can open.

Bjarne Foldager, Senior Vice President as well as Head of Two-Stroke Business, MALE Energy Solutions, stated: “We had high expectations for the ME-GA upon its launch as we recognised a strong desire – primarily from the LNG carrier market – for an alternative to our successful ME-GI engine. Judging alone by the fact that ME-GA has won references from all three major shipyards in Korea, these expectations have been met and even exceeded.”

Thomas S. Hansen, Head of Promotion as well as Customer Support, MALE Energy Solutions, stated: “As industry leaders committed to lowering emissions, the ME-GA comes with our high-pressure EGR as standard, a technology we have refined over the past decade. The increased focus on methane-slip reduction – as well as other operational/technical benefits – has established EGR technologies as the new standard for contemporary LNG-carrier design featuring Otto-cycle engines.”

As its pre-mixed burning leads to reduced NOx exhausts, the ME-GA engine is naturally Tier II as well as Tier III certified in gas-operation setting. EGR allows the substantial decrease of methane slip, while all at once enhancing gas performance in both gas as well as fuel-oil procedure. Ultimately, EGR proactively lowers exhausts as well as enhances performance in both Tier II as well as Tier III.

Foldager included: “The ME-GA engine is just MAN Energy Solutions’ latest initiative to decarbonise shipping and further the maritime energy transition to sustainable fuels. Our dual-fuel engines continue to act as standard bearers for environmentally-friendly, reliable propulsion-technology with their seamless switching between fuels. Ultimately, we expect the ME-GA to become standard among LNG carriers.”

MALE Energy Solutions intends to begin examining the initial, business ME-GA style by the end of this year, with the initial engine distribution set up for very early 2022.
