WinGD dual-fuel technology gives Polaris Shipping flexibility across methanol and ethanol
WinGD has won a contract that will give Polaris Shipping true fuel flexibility for its future Newcastlemax fleet with an order of four X72DF-M-1.0 engines that can operate on methanol and ethanol. The ability to operate on either fuel gives Polaris Shipping greater flexibility to respond to changes in fuel availability, pricing and regulatory requirements over the vessels' operating lives and is a key benefit of WinGD’s innovative alcohol-fuel engine platform.
