WinGD will provide 10X92DF-M methanol-fuelled engines to 4 16,000 TEU container vessels to be developed for COSCO DELIVERY Lines at COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (Yangzhou)Co Ltd.These vessels will certainly be provided from 2025 as well as will certainly include WinGD’s initial X92DF-M engines inChina
The methanol engines will certainly be provided from engine contractor CSSC CMD in Shanghai, which is collectively creating the engines with WinGD. The 4th vessel in the collection will certainly be the initial to have actually methanol engines mounted initially. The earlier vessels will at first have methanol-ready X92-B engines mounted as well as will certainly be transformed for methanol prior to getting in solution.
These vessels will certainly be amongst the initial methanol-fueled container vessels to be constructed in China.
The X92DF-M engines will certainly be based upon the X92-B engine, which has actually been released by containership proprietors consisting of COSCO DELIVERY Lines, MSC as well as CMA CGM. The X92DF-M will certainly use the exact same high-pressure Diesel burning cycle.
WinGD claimed the order allows its to progress its timeline for creating conversion bundles for methanol-fueled engines. WinGD will certainly present a methanol plan for the X92-B engine as quickly as the 4th vessel in the collection is provided– opening up the marketplace for existing vessels with X92-B engines to be transformed to utilize the carbon-neutral gas.
“Utilizing WinGD’s engine development capabilities jointly with partners serving the world’s biggest shipbuilding market allows us to better support shipowners, as demand for methanol-fueled container vessels rapidly grows,” claimed Dominik Schneiter, Vice President R&D, WinGD. “The COSCO DELIVERY Lines order is an excellent step, aiding us to reinforce our proficiency in both newbuilds as well as conversions of methanol engines based upon our well developed X92-B system which has actually confirmed to be a really reputable as well as reliable engine.
In parallel, WinGD is creating ammonia-fueled engines as component of its dedication to aid shipowners get ready for the accessibility of environment-friendly gas.
