A 52-bore single-cylinder version of the X-DF-A engine is running at the company's Engine Research and Innovation Centre (ERIC) in Winterthur, with final validation to be completed in time for the first engine deliveries in June 2025.
The engine will be installed on the fourth of a series of 16,000 TEU container vessels being built for COSCO Shipping Lines at COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (Yangzhou) shipyard.
The first Baltic-scale production of renewable fuels - HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) products - will be established in the Port of Riga in cooperation with investors from Ukraine.
The emissions reduction solution NORDEN follows works by burning biofuel on a vessel and the emission reduction being allocated to a third-party customer using a book and claim chain of custody system.
TotalEnergies Marine Fuels supplied its first B100 biofuel bunker on 5 August in Singapore, marking a significant expansion in its low-carbon fuels offer as it supports the decarbonization goals of global shipping.
