ME-LGi engines become a reality

摘要

Man diesel & Turbo reports that Canada's Waterfront Shipping has confirmed its Methanol Carrier Project for a series of 50,000dwt methanol carriers. Each of the vessels will be powered by an MAN B&W ME-LGI main engine running on a blend of 95% methanol and 5% diesel fuel. The confirmation stems from a Letter of Intent signed by MAN Diesel & Turbo and Waterfront signed in July of last year (see article in MER September 2013 for details about the initial agreement).
