MAN Energy Solutions has announced the upcoming delivery of the world’s most powerful two-stroke methanol engine, the MAN B&W 12G95ME-C10.5-LGIM, scheduled for June 2025. This engine, rated at 82,440 kW, is under construction in China and will serve a series of 24,000 TEU container vessels for OOCL and COSCO.
Man Energy Solutions has achieved type approval for its dual-fuel L35/44DF engine, designed for generators operating at 720 and 750 rpm. Tested at Stx Engine in South Korea, the innovative model features advanced adaptive combustion control, enhancing efficiency and reducing emissions. This marks a significant advancement for container ship operators.
MITSUI E&S has started testing the world’s first commercial, two-stroke, dual-fuel ammonia engine at their Tamano Factory in Japan. The MAN B&W 7S60ME-LGIA Mk 10.5 prototype engine will be installed on a bulk carrier for a joint venture between “K” LINE, NS United, and ITOCHU Corp. MAN Energy Solutions highlights the importance of using ammonia.
MAN Energy Solutions achieved a significant milestone with its ME-LGIA engine running on Liquid Gas Injection Ammonia at 100% load during testing. The cautious approach since November 2024 paid off, marking a crucial step in maritime energy transition. Positive emission and performance characteristics were confirmed, with focus now on optimizing performance and emissions for future development.
MAN Energy Solutions is at the forefront of sustainable technology development with its ‘AmmoniaMot 2’ project, creating a dual-fuel test engine running on ammonia. Supported by industry and research partners, the initiative aims to advance ammonia as a carbon-free fuel for maritime and industrial applications, contributing to the decarbonization of the sector.
