At a two-day event in Copenhagen with over 300 attendees representing all sectors of the maritime industry, Everllence has unveiled its new, dual-fuel ME-LGIA (-Liquid Gas Injection Ammonia) engine. Using the Diesel principle and the well-known, dual-fuel Liquid Gas Injection concept, the ME-LGIA engine has many of the same merits as Everllence’s existing ME-LGIM and ME-LGIP units that, respectively, run on methanol and LPG. However, in light of ammonia’s particular characteristics, the new engine also has additional safety features such as containment systems, sensors, system ventilation and double-walled piping developed especially for ammonia as a fuel. Dr Uwe Lauber, CEO Everllence, said: “As the maritime industry’s leading engine designer, we are in a unique position to advance the green transition and know that bringing new fuels to market is not just innovation – it's imperative for zero-carbon shipping. In this context, ammonia is a vital piece of the puzzle. The development of this engine is not just a technical achievement; it is another concrete step towards a climate-neutral future where the time to act is now.” Everllence reports that the first ME-LGIA engine is due for delivery in Q1, 2026 with bedding-in set for Q4, 2025. The company is currently engaged in several pilot-projects, including 2 × Very Large Ammonia Carriers for Eastern Pacific Shipping; a further four engines for Höegh Autoliner Pure Car and Truck Carriers; and another for a bulk carrier in Japan where the engine is currently on the MITSUI E&S testbed. Bjarne Foldager, Head of Two-Stroke Business, Everllence said: “This ammonia engine is truly a technological milestone. It is the result of over 150,000 hours of collective work and represents a significant financial investment on our part. Since two-stroke engine testing on ammonia started in July 2023, we have carried out over 800 tests – both here in Copenhagen and at MITSUI E&S in Japan. All the way through, safety has been our first consideration and we have worked closely with the relevant authorities and classification societies to ensure that the technology meets all demands.” Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/dJQqE6Df
