MAN Diesel & Turbo is teaming up with Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) to develop and produce MAN B&W ME-LGIP dual-fuel engines.
Upon completion, HHI’s engine and machinery division will be able to deliver LPG–fuelled, two-stroke-propulsion engines.
“We have previously experienced strong market interest in using LPG as a fuel aboard LPG carriers, but other shipping segments have also begun investigating this option, a general tendency that is growing,” said Bjarne Foldager, vice president sales and promotion, two-stroke business at MAN Diesel & Turbo.
