The pair signed an agreement on the development of ammonia-fuelled two-stroke engines, aiming to install the ammonia dual-fuel X72DF engine on a series of ten x 210,000 DWT bulk carriers to be built at a Chinese shipyard in 2025 and 2026.<\/p>\n<p>CMB.TECH will support WinGD in establishing its ammonia-fuelled engine concept for a large bore engine. CMB.TECH has significant insight into alternative fuels and builds, designs, owns and operates large marine and industrial applications that run on hydrogen and ammonia.<\/p>\n<p>When they come to fruition, the series of large bulk carriers powered by WinGD\u2019s ammonia engines will be the first of its kind and proof that large sea-going vessels can be powered by zero-carbon fuels.<\/p>\n<p>These newest engines in WinGD\u2019s X-DF portfolio will add ammonia capability to WinGD\u2019s X engines. They will be based on the X92B engine, whose market-leading fuel efficiency makes it an ideal starting point for developing large bore ammonia-fuelled engines.<\/p>\n<p>The development project with CMB.TECH is one of several projects WinGD is carrying out with shipowners and engine builders to ensure that dual-fuel ammonia two-stroke engines will be available as the global fleet prepares to adopt green fuels to meet long-term decarbonisation targets.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib\" style=\"width: 913px; width: 913px;\"><span class=\"fr-img-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imagesedit.marinelink.com\/images\/storage\/w800h533\/4f495aa5-c3d0-3b36-3928-07725207a06e.jpg\"\/><span class=\"fr-inner\">\u201cWe believe that ammonia is the most promising zero-carbon fuel for deep sea vessels. Our intention is to have dual-fuel ammonia-diesel engines on our dry bulk vessels, container vessels and chemical tankers. Collaborating with WinGD on the development of the first ammonia-fuelled two-stroke engines for our fleet is a pioneering partnership on the road to zero emissions in shipping,&#8221; said Alexander Saverys, CEO, CMB.
