Höegh Autoliners has placed the first-ever order in the pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) segment for dual-fuel ammonia engines from Everllence.
A new development in maritime decarbonisation has been marked by the placement of an order for ammonia-burning Everllence B&W ME-LGIA engines. As announced, the order includes four 7S60ME-LGIA (Liquid Gas Injection Ammonia) dual-fuel engines, scheduled for delivery to an undisclosed Asian shipyard for the construction of four 9,100 CEU (Car Equivalent Unit) ‘Aurora’-class Pure Car/Truck Carriers (PCTCs).
The engines will be manufactured by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. in South Korea.
The engines are the beating heart of our vessels, and we take it as a clear mark of confidence that Everllence has chosen us to install some of the world’s first two-stroke ammonia engines on our final four Aurora Class vessels.
…said Sebjørn Dahl, Chief Operations Officer, Höegh Autoliners.
To remind, in June the company took delivery of its fifth vessel in Höegh Autoliners’ Aurora Class, equipped for future use of carbon-free ammonia, with the first ammonia-powered operations expected by 2027.
