(CHI) regarding their future cooperation on decarbonisation retrofit projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Petersen<\/strong> \u2013 Senior Vice President, Head of PrimeServ Denmark \u2013 signed the agreement on behalf of MAN Energy Solutions, with <strong>Guo Zhiqiang<\/strong> \u2013 Deputy General Manager, CHI Commercial Headquarters \u2013 doing so for CHI.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guo Zhiqiang<\/strong> said: \u201c<em>I am pleased to announce that CHI and MAN Energy Solutions, having served shared clients in their respective domains, are now forging a closer collaboration in vessel decarbonisation. Starting today, our integrated one-stop solutions will inject fresh impetus into the green transition of the global maritime industry.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Petersen<\/strong> said: \u201c<em>This frame agreement facilitates MAN Energy Solutions\u2019 partnership with CHI, one of the largest repair-yard groups in the world. The agreement means that we can join forces on many future projects to ensure the decarbonisation of the existing commercial fleet worldwide. Today, there are some 4,500 vessels globally with the potential to benefit from changing their current bunker fuel to more environmentally-friendly options. We look forward to working with CHI to deliver new decarbonisation solutions to the maritime industry.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new framework agreement provides for the retrofitting of existing ships to operation on new alternative fuels like methane, methanol and ammonia \u2013 all fuels that can be produced in a sustainable way through power-to-X processes. MAN Energy Solutions will provide advanced engine-retrofit technology and digital energy-efficiency solutions, while CHI will leverage its rich EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) experience in large-scale ship modification projects.<\/p>\n<p>With five ship-repair yards, CHI has the capacity to repair and modify approximately 1,500 ships annually. This collaboration will integrate MAN PrimeServ\u2019s cutting-edge, dual-fuel engine technology with CHI&#8217;s repair and modification capabilities to decarbonise the merchant fleet globally.<\/p>\n<p>MAN Energy Solutions views the new agreement as a natural development stemming from the companies\u2019 strong relationship. In this respect, MAN Energy Solutions and CHI are already working together on two major projects for two world-leading container-ship owners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New framework agreement facilitates further projects At a recent ceremony in China, MAN Energy Solutions  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":257049,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[273,298],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-257048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-maritimes-news","category-seagoing-maritimes-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
