Japanese delivery large NYK has ordered eight ME-GA engines from Man Energy Solutions for 4 liquefied pure fuel (LNG) carriers.
The order is for eight 5G70ME-GA Mk. 10.5 engines associated to the development of 4 174,000 cbm. LNG carriers by NYK.
All eight engines will characteristic MAN Energy Solutions’ proprietary EGRBP (Exhaust Gas Recirculation ByPass) emissions-reduction expertise.
“We developed this engine for easy application to most contemporary LNG carrier designs and, indeed, all ME-GA orders to date have been exclusively for this segment. Demand for the engine has been continuously strong since its introduction, especially due to its accompaniment by our self-developed EGR system that comes proven by more than a decade of in-service, operational experience and optimization,” stated Bjarne Foldager, Head of Two-Stroke Business at MAN Energy Solutions.
Man Energy Solutions has logged greater than 278 ME-GA engine orders since May 2021. Of these, seven vessels have already entered service with a complete of 14 ME-GA engines on board, based on Thomas S. Hansen, Head of Promotion and Customer Support on the firm.
