Furthermore, the ME-GI operational principles features a change-over between gas operation and diesel operation.<\/p>\n<p>MAN Energy Solutions has also developed a ME-LGI (liquid gas injection) dual-fuel engine that expands the company\u2019s dual-fuel portfolio, enabling the use of more sustainable fuels such as methanol and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.offshore-energy.biz\/eps-bulker-newbuilds-to-get-man-dual-fuel-me-gi-engines\/\">EPS bulker newbuilds to get MAN dual-fuel ME-GI engines<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.offshore-energy.biz\">Offshore Energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>world maritime news<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Germany&#8217;s engine manufacturer MAN Energy Solutions has received an order for five 6G70ME-GI Mk 10.5 dual-fuel engines to be installed on five Newcastlemax bulk carriers ordered by Singapore-based shipping company Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS).
