The orders are divided among two separate, Korean shipyards.<\/p>\n<p>Both shipyards have ordered 4 \u00d7 MAN B&amp;W 8G95ME-GI Mk10.5 main engines and will each construct 4 \u00d7 Ultra Large Container Ship (ULCS) vessels for an undisclosed Asian owner. An esteemed, Korean MAN Energy Solutions licensee will build the engines for the yards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bjarne Foldager \u2013 Head of Two-Stroke Business \u2013 MAN Energy Solutions<\/strong>, said: \u201c<em>This is a very welcome order that confirms the ME-GI\u2019s strong start to the year. Moreover, we consider it as a strategic win where we had to overcome robust competition before swinging proceedings back in our favour. Looking at the current status of the container segment \u2013 and taking its regulatory horizon into consideration \u2013 the ME-GI has a markedly superior emission profile. This includes minimal methane slip, compared to conventional engines, which helps it stand out as a leading, future-proof solution.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MAN Energy Solutions reports that, since its market debut in 2014, the ME-GI has been broadly accepted by all marine segments with orders now well exceeding 900 units. The keenest interest in the engine has come from the container segment with more than 400 engines ordered, followed by gas and liquid tanker vessels (225+) and car &amp; truck carriers (175+).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christian Ludwig \u2013 Head of Two-Stroke Sales and Promotion \u2013 MAN Energy Solutions<\/strong>, said: \u201c<em>The ME-GI continues to confirm its status as the maritime industry\u2019s default, dual-fuel, methane-fuelled engine and is capable of running on LNG, synthetic methane, and bio-methane. Furthermore, the latest Mk10.7 ME-GI generation features increased gas-operating pressures to enhance fuel efficiency. Additionally, the Diesel-cycle combustion concept employed by ME-GI engines optimises fuel consumption in both gas and fuel-oil modes, thereby improving fuel efficiency without the need for complex and unproven designs. This is particularly advantageous in gas mode, where methane\u2019s flammability characteristics make the use of the Diesel combustion cycle a significant plus.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New orders continue dual-fuel engine\u2019s strong start to 2025 MAN Energy Solutions reports that its  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":257060,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[273,298],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-257059","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 -
