LNG

July 11 (LNGJ) - MAN Energy Solutions, the German marine propulsion maker, has won an order to equip two LNG-powered containership for US shipping company Pasha Hawaii that operates in US Jones Act trading. MAN, based in Augsburg, Germany, said it would supply a speciality power package in the form of an electronically-controlled, gas-injection (MEGI) engine. The vessels will be constructed at the US Keppel AmFELS shipyard in Brownsville, Texas to Keppel's proprietary design. “With some 200 engines on order or already in service, the ME-GI’s popularity continues to grow,” said MAN Energy. “This is yet another order within the container segment and cements the ME-GI concept,” it added. Doosan Engine will build the main engines in South Korea and the MAN Augsburg works will build the auxiliary engines for delivery in 2019.
