MAN Energy Solutions successful ME-GI (Gas Injection) engine has set a new industrial standard for two-stroke propulsion engines aboard LNG carriers, container vessels, car carriers and bulk carriers.

 

The company announced that the first ME-GI engine featuring its newly-developed Pump Vaporizer Unit (PVU) has successfully completed LNG trials in Korea.

 

The engine is the first in a series of six neo-Panamax boxships – built by HSHI (Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries), and ordered by Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS), the Singapore-based shipping company – with each powered by individual MAN B&W 11G90ME-GI main engines.

 

CMA CGM has already chartered the vessel, named ‘Tenere’, from EPS.

 

“The successful gas and sea trials and the on-schedule delivery of CMA CGM Tenere make for an important MAN and EPS milestone. Three years ago, we committed to investing in alternative marine fuels, like LNG, to lead the industry towards decarbonization and environmental preservation.

 

This commitment included selecting MAN’s high-pressure ME-GI engines, which are highly efficient and, importantly, reduce methane slippage to negligible levels. These vessels will be IMO 2030 compliant years ahead of schedule and will be the cleanest vessels of their category on-the-water today,” said EPS CEO, Cyril Ducau.
