Marine engine designer MAN Energy Solutions expects no bottlenecks in ammonia engine production as its licensees gear up to build the first engines to the design MAN is now testing.
“Deliverability will be greater than demand,” MAN engine sales executive Thomas Hansen told TradeWinds. “I don’t see any bottleneck in producing one engine type or the other.”
Manufacturers, shipyards, and shipowners have shown keen interest after TradeWinds reported that Hoegh Autoliners will install ammonia-burning dual-fuel engines on large car carriers now on order in China, Hansen said.
