World’s Largest Car Carriers Set to Be Powered By MAN ES Propulsion Package
Guangzhou Shipbuilding International, a Chinese shipyard, has secured an order to build four advanced MAN B&W 8S60ME-GI engines in association with building 4×10,800 CEU pure car and truck carriers (PCTC) for HMM Co. Ltd., the South Korean shipping major.
CSIC Diesel Engine Co. Ltd will work on building the Mk10.5 dual-fuel gas injection engines in China.
These will boast exhaust gas recirculation emissions-reduction tech to meet Tier III NOx compliance.
Once delivered to the client, these PCTCs will be out on charter to a logistics firm, the Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd., and part of the Hyundai Kia Automotive Group.
MAN Energy Solutions will provide three dual-fuel gensets, MAN 8L28/32DF, for each vessel. CSSC Marine Power Zhenjian Ltd. will build these in China.
Bjarne Foldager, the Country Manager of MAN Energy Solutions in Denmark, stated that they are thrilled to obtain this order, demonstrating MAN Energy Solutions’ capacity to provide complete propulsion solutions for innovative PCTC projects.
This accomplishment lays the groundwork for a market benchmark for next-generation PCTC vessels that incorporate their proven engines.
Winning orders for main and auxiliary engines support the strategic objective of supplying complete propulsion packages.
Thomas S. Hansen, the Head of Sales and Promotion at MAN Energy Solutions, highlighted the thriving vehicle carrier business and the unprecedented demand for additional cargo.
He noted that due to stringent emission regulations, most of these new vessels are equipped with dual-fuel engines, with LNG being the most prevalent alternative fuel.
However, the ME-GI engine is the most sought-after dual-fuel engine in the market, with over 700 orders.
It is the world’s most efficient methane-fueled engine, boasting minimal methane slip, and is the industry’s premier dual-fuel engine for container boats, bulk carriers, tankers, and vehicle carriers.
