First Order for MET Turbocharger for WinGD Ammonia-Fueled Engines

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery & Equipment Co., Ltd (MHI-MME) has received an order for MET48MBII turbocharger, which will be installed on the WinGD ammonia-fueled large low-speed engine "6X52DF-A1.0" for HD Hyundai Heavy Industries.

MHI-MME has already secured orders for turbochargers for ammonia-fueled large low speed two stroke engines from the MAN ES/UE brand, and with this latest order, it has achieved orders for ammonia fueled engines from all three of the world's major engine licensors.

This engine will be installed on a 1,400 TEU container ship being built in China, which is scheduled to be in service by 2026. In light of the tightening of emissions regulations for ships, the development of new fuel engines is accelerating.

MHI-MME already has extensive experience with methanol-fueled engines and will continue to provide optimal solutions for ammonia-fueled engines, which are gaining attention as the one that do not emit carbon dioxide (CO₂).
