Swiss marine power company, WinGD has signed an agreement with South Korea’s service company, Panasia to upgrade X‑DF dual-fuel LNG engines.
The engines will be retrofitted with WinGD’s updated emissions abatement and fuel efficiency technology.
This will support ship operators in reducing their cost exposure to maritime carbon pricing, keeping existing vessels competitive for longer, the engine designer claimed.
Panasia acts as a system integrator for several shipyards. Its technical capabilities and understanding of specific vessel configurations will support WinGD in delivering timely and cost-effective retrofit projects that offer the best possible return on investment (ROI) through lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions penalties.
