Hyundai’s Ship-Building Division, HHI-SBD, has ordered 8 × MAN B&W 8G95ME-LGIM, Liquid Gas Injection Methanol, engines in connection with the building of 8 × 16,000-teu container ships for AP Møller Maersk, the global integrator of container logistics. Hyundai Engine & Machinery Division, HHI-EMD, will build the engines. The order contains an option for a further four engines with the first of the confirmed vessels due to enter service in Q1, 2024. MAN Energy Solutions states that the new engines will be capable of burning bio-methanol as well as e-methanolThe new order closely follows that from July 2021 when MAN Energy Solutions won the order to supply the world’s first, low-speed, dual-fuel engine to run on methanol within the container segment, a MAN B&W 6G50ME-LGIM type built by HHI-EMD, to a 2,100-teu vessel also ordered at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard by AP Møller Maersk.MAN Energy Solutions developed the ME-LGIM dual-fuel engine for operation on methanol, as well as conventional fuel. The engine is based on the company’s proven ME-series, with its approximately 5,000 engines in service, and works according to the Diesel principle. When operating on methanol, the ME-LGIM significantly reduces CO2, greenhouse-gas, particles, NOx and SOx emissions.
