The Chinese mainland has launched the world’s largest methanol-powered dual fuel engine in Shanghai, marking a significant advancement in maritime technology. Developed by the Chinese mainland’s State Shipbuilding Corporation, the engine weighs nearly 1,953 tons and boasts a maximum power output of 64,500 kilowatts.
This impressive \"giant heart\" is set to be installed on a 16,000 TEU container ship, which will make its debut shortly. The introduction of this engine aligns with the ongoing green transformation of the water transport industry, addressing the increasing market demand for more sustainable and efficient maritime solutions.
The methanol-powered dual fuel engine not only enhances the efficiency of large container ships but also contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting global efforts towards environmental sustainability. As the maritime industry continues to evolve, innovations like this engine play a crucial role in meeting both operational demands and environmental standards.
