MAN Energy Solutions has announced that its portfolio of two-stroke, dual-fuel engines has passed more than 1,000 units on order or in service.The engines can run on a variety of alternative fuels, including LNG, methanol, ethane and LPG.The new mark also comprises part of an even larger milestone of more than 2,500 Tier-III compliant engine orders.


Bjarne Foldager, Senior Vice President and Head of Low-Speed, MAN Energy Solutions, said: “This is yet another, significant milestone for our dual-fuel portfolio that provides the green solutions desired by the marine market. Our low-speed engines offer multiple paths to decarbonisation and we see the increasing adoption of dual-fuel technology as an irreversible trend.”

Thomas Storgaard Hansen, Head of Promotion and Customer Support, added: “Of the thousand dual-fuel engines on order or in service, these include more than 214 ME-GA engines, testimony to the success of the second-generation Otto-cycle engine for LNG carriers that offer reduced methane-slip emissions. The first ME-GAs have already been delivered to shipyards and the first vessels will enter service in June 2023.”
