Mitsui E&S Tests First Japan-Built WinGD Methanol Marine Engine

Share:

Japanese engineering firm Mitsui E&S has completed factory acceptance testing of the first methanol dual-fuel WinGD large marine engine built in Japan.

The methanol dual-fuel engine was manufactured by group company Mitsui E&S DU at Mitsui E&S's Tamano Works, Mitsui said in a statement on its website on Monday.

The unit is also the first WinGD substantial marine engine to be manufactured at the Tamano facility.

The engine is scheduled to be installed on the first of four vessels being built to an unnamed Japanese shipowner.

Mitsui E&S said production of the WinGD engine at Tamano was supported by its relationships with engine licensors WinGD and Everllence, as well as the facility's next-generation fuel supply infrastructure.

The group is also seeking to increase substantial marine engine production efficiency through integrated operations at its Tamano and Aioi facilities as Japan looks to expand domestic shipbuilding capacity.
