As disclosed, Everllence is set to provide the B&W ME-LGIA (liquid gas injection ammonia) engines, which will be sent off “to an undisclosed shipyard in Asia.” However, Everllence has highlighted that the engines themselves are to be built in South Korea by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HD HHI).
Sebjørn Dahl, Chief Operations Officer at Höegh Autoliners, further remarked that this development marks some of the “world’s first” installations of two-stroke ammonia engines.
