FAT complete for HHI-EMD’s first methanol engine

The shop test of HiMSEN’s first H32DF-LM 5,400bhp genset was conducted at the company’s Techno centre in Ulsan, South Korea on 15 December 2022.

The first engine will be delivered in December to Hyundai Mipo Dockyard for a 2,100teu methanol-fuelled container feeder which is under construction for Maersk. HHI-EMD confirmed that it has received orders for 50 methanol dual-fuel HiMSEN engines in connection with 13 newbuildings. 

The diesel/methanol genset significantly reduces GHG emissions, SOx and NOx. In addition, it prevents corrosion by using special materials and achieves stable high-power production by applying diesel cycle combustion and electronically controlled fuel injection (Common Rail) technology.
