Everllence lands first 70-bore order
The vessels are currently under construction at New Times Shipbuilding in Jiangsu, China, with the engines to be manufactured in Korea.
The deal marks a significant milestone for Everllence as it represents the first sale of a 70-bore engine from the company’s latest Mk10.7 platform, underscoring its growing market presence in advanced two-stroke engine technology.
“We introduced the Mk10.7 platform on the first engine back in November 2023 and it’s currently available in engine bore-sizes ranging from 50- to 95-bore,” commented Bjarne Foldager, head of Two-Stroke Business at Everllence.
“In 2024 alone, we saw 40 Mk10.7 engines being ordered, which in itself represents a very positive market response. This year we expanded Mk10.7 options to also include 80- and 95-bore and now we see the market rewarding us with this milestone G70-10.7 order.
“The next step will be to land Mk10.7 80- and 95-bore orders and I have no doubt that it is just a question of time before we also see these engines find their way into new projects.”
Susanne Kindt, senior vice president, Engineering, Two-Stroke Business at Everllence, emphasised the technological advantages of the Mk10.7 design. “The Mk10.7 engine platform is the latest generation of engine design in the Everllence two-stroke engine portfolio,” she said.
“Accordingly, this G70ME-C10.7 engine relies on a versatile yet simplified basic design that both delivers a highly competitive fuel efficiency and allows shipowners full retrofit-flexibility to any of our dual-fuel offerings whenever they find it relevant for their business.”
The new design’s flexibility makes it well suited to a broad range of vessel types. “We envisage the concept appealing to many newbuilding segments, including Suezmax tankers, container feeders and bulk carriers from 180-210,000 dwt in particular,” said Kindt.
