Eltronic FuelTech has announced the successful delivery of what the company says is the world’s first 2.5-inch FVT-MeOH, a fuel valve train developed for the CPGC-MAN12G95ME-C10.5-LGIM engine.
The delivery was marked by a ceremony at CSSC-MES Diesel in Shanghai, an event which was considered to highlight a step forward in advancing maritime engine technology and improving fuel efficiency.
The 2.5-inch FVT-MeOH has been designed to meet the specific needs of the CPGC-MAN12G95ME-C10.5-LGIM engine, the largest methanol dual-fuel (DF) main engine constructed in China. This engine is expected to contribute to more efficient and environmentally friendly shipping operations.
The project includes the construction of 12 container vessels, each with a capacity of 24,000 TEU, commissioned by Orient Overseas Container Line Limited (OOCL), part of Cosco Shipping Group, China’s largest shipping company. These vessels are under construction at two shipyards: Nantong Cosco KHI Ship Engineering, and Dalian Cosco KHI Ship Engineering.
Eltronic FuelTech Global Sales Director, Nicolai Wiese said: “This achievement is not only a testament to our team’s hard work and innovation but also to the strength of our partnership with our customers and partners. We are honoured to contribute to this project and look forward to continuing our collaboration to drive sustainability and efficiency in the maritime sector.”
This project is believed to demonstrate the value of close collaboration and a shared focus on innovation.
