WinGD, a Swiss marine power company, has announced that it would <\/p>\n

deliver six container vessels with X-DF-M methanol-fuelled engines to <\/p>\n

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding in China.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"WinGD<\/p>\n

The 9,000 TEU vessels will each be powered by an X82DF-M engine built by HD <\/p>\n

Hyundai Heavy Industries\u2019 Engine & Machinery Division (HHI-EMD), to be <\/p>\n

delivered in August 2025.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new deal increases WinGD\u2019s methanol engine orders into the 82-bore size <\/p>\n

and offers possibilities for more engines.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Volkmar Galke, Director Sales, WinGD, said: \u201cThis order confirms that our <\/p>\n

X-DF-M engines will be in service long before green methanol is widely available <\/p>\n

and before regulatory requirements come into force, giving operators time to <\/p>\n

build experience with the new fuel and engines.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted that one of the biggest and most influential container <\/p>\n

lines has also invested in our X-DF-M technology, sending a strong signal to all <\/p>\n

operators currently making their own alternative fuel decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The X-DF-M engines\u2019 combustion theory and engine architecture are based on <\/p>\n

WinGD\u2019s newest X-Engines, which are reportedly reinforced with high-pressure <\/p>\n

methanol injection.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

X-DF-M engines provide comparable performance to X-Engines in both methanol <\/p>\n

and diesel modes, as well as reduced pilot fuel needs achieved by carefully <\/p>\n

regulated common rail injection and NOx Tier III compliance in both modes with <\/p>\n

selective catalytic reduction.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As soon as X-DF-M engines in the appropriate bore sizes become available, <\/p>\n

the new engine idea will be retrofittable to the X-Engine series.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new vessel series is scheduled to begin service in 2026 and 2027.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In September, WinGD received the first Approval in Principle (AiP) for <\/p>\n

ammonia-fuelled two-stroke engines, granted by science company Lloyd\u2019s Register <\/p>\n

(LR).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
