The milestone brings the engine one step closer to its market debut. Bjarne Foldager, Head of Two-Stroke Business, said: "The TAT is yet another important step as we definitively move from concept development to seagoing engine operation. It confirms the ME-LGIA as ready for on-board installation and is the last test before actual sea and gas trials. This engine sets new benchmarks in zero-carbon propulsion and digitally connected performance, and has attracted great interest since its development was announced in 2019." Built on the Diesel principle and the well-proven dual-fuel Liquid Gas Injection concept, the ME-LGIA shares its architecture with Everllence's existing ME-LGIM and ME-LGIP units - running on methanol and LPG respectively - which together have accumulated several hundred thousand operational hours in service. Ole Pyndt Hansen, Senior VP Head of Two-Stroke R&D, said: "The TAT is also important in relation to maturing IMO ammonia regulations, as it is vital that rules and guidelines are in line with reality to optimize safety onboard vessels. The first ammonia-driven ships, expected to operate at sea during 2026, will act as compelling input for the development of these guidelines." The TAT also marks the end of an era: it is the final type approval test to be conducted at the RCC in Copenhagen before the facility relocates outside the city in late 2027.
