Order to MAN for methanol engines destined for maersk's new container ships
The propulsion systems will be built by HHI Engine &Machinery
August 25, 2021
The order for the eight dual-fuel engines for the ships of the Maersk follows that of the beginning of last month when MAN Energy Solutions has obtained the order for the supply of the first engine low-speed dual-feed power supply capable of running on methanol intended for the container ship sector to be installed on a new 2,100 teu ship ordered by Maersk from Hyundai Mipo Dockyard ( of the 1st July 2021).
«Methanol, as a fuel - commented Thomas S. Hansen, Head of Promotion and Customer Support at MAN Energy Solutions - is quickly becoming an option under the segment of large container ships where, until now, for a long time conventional fuel and natural gas reigned liquified. We believe that this significant order will stimulate further market interest in methanol what fuel, also within other segments of the shipping, like bulk carriers».
