In a strategic shift following recent IMO decisions, a major Taiwanese containership operator has opted to expand its commitment to methanol as an alternative fuel. Switzerland-based WinGD will be tasked with supplying two-stroke engine designs for<\/strong> two-stroke X-DF-M dual-fuel<\/a><\/strong> X-DF-M dual-fuel and methanol-ready X-Engine versions, which will be installed on a fleet of more than 30 vessels.<\/p>\n\n

The contract includes X92 engines adapted for methanol on twelve 16,000 TEU vessels, in addition to previous orders for X82 and X82DF-M engines.

The shipowner had considered dual LNG engines<\/a><\/strong> engines prior to the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) meeting in April. However, following the approval of the new framework, it re-evaluated its choice and decided to consolidate its focus on methanol-compatible technologies, while maintaining flexibility for biofuels in the short term. <\/p>\n\n
