WinGD’s series of 920mm bore size X92 engines, which power some of the largest vessels in the world, in both the dual fuel Otto-cycle and traditional Diesel-cycle platforms, are said to be providing the efficiency and emissions performance ship-owners need to deliver cargoes safely and on time.
With a growing fleet of nearly 200 vessels ordered, the 70 engines already in operation have accumulated close to 1m running hours. Most recently, the X92-B, the newest addition to the portfolio, has dominated the container vessel order intake because it provides what WinGD considers to be the best propulsion efficiency for modern large and ultra-large container vessels due to optimal cylinder power, shaft speed and stroke to bore ratio.
Both X92-B and X92DF engines feature WinGD’s WiCE advanced control system and WiDE intelligent engine data analysis and remote support, key components in optimising overall efficiency. WiDE is a digital solution providing ship owners and operators with awareness of the operating condition of vessels and enabling WinGD experts to stay on top of any fluctuations of performance to ensure uninterrupted and optimal performance.
To date WinGD’s complete X92 engine portfolio has continued to deliver reliability, energy efficiency and low emission profile while an investment in this technology today is considered to offer the future fuel flexibility needed to be confident in the longevity of the vessel.
WinGD is in close contact with all vessel owners and has been able to confirm that problems experienced with the CMA CGM Osiris are not related to the main engine. WinGD remains on hand to support its customer with all engine related inquiries and is committed to the safe and reliable operations of the engines.
