MITSUBISHI SHIPBUILDING AND WINGD AGREE ON THE DESIGN OF THE AMMONIA FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM
DETAIL INFORMATION
TManufacturers of engines WinGD and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding have announced that they have advanced ammonia-fueled propulsion technology to a significant milestone. The two businesses have completed the basic design of a fuel supply system for a huge, low-speed, two-stroke marine engine that runs on ammonia.
In June 2023, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding and WinGD to conduct technical research on an ammonia fuel supply system. WinGD is developing X?DF?A engines at suitable sizes for various vessel designs as part of the agreement. The shipbuilder will receive specifications for installing the engines and requirements for all auxiliary fuel systems from WinGD. For use with WinGD's ammonia engines, Mitsubishi is building the vessels, establishing the engines' performance limits, and improving its current ammonia fuel supply system (AFSS).
