Container newbuilds series to run on Everllence propulsion sets

An undisclosed Asian shipbuilder has ordered Everllence propulsion packages in connection with the building of five 8,400-TEU container ships. The vessels and engines will be constructed in China.
The scope of supply for each vessel covers: an Everllence B&W 6G80ME-GI Mk 10.5 main engine featuring EGRTC (Exhaust Gas Recirculation Turbocharger Cut-out); four × 9L28/32DF LPSCR (Low-Pressure Selective Catalytic Reduction) auxiliary engines; a PVU8000 (Pump Vaporiser Unit) main-engine fuel gas-supply system; a set of TCA77 & TCT30 main-engine turbochargers; two ETB40 EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) blowers and a TCR turbocharger for each auxiliary engine.
Everllence head of two-stroke business Bjarne Foldager said the ME-GI series has had a strong start to the year, "confirming its status as the default, dual-fuel, methane-fuelled engine".

"Part of this is due to the current, hot, container-newbuilding market where the ME-GI engine stands out – among other ways – by virtue of its’ having the lowest methane emissions in its class," Mr Foldager said, claiming that "as increased quantities of bio- and synthetic LNG become available at commercially viable prices, the ME-GI engine will ultimately allow shipowners to reach net-zero.”
Everllence head of two-stroke sales and promotion Christian Ludwig pointed to the ME-GI’s installed engine-output power base of over 25M kW makes it a standout in the dual-fuel, two-stroke marine engines market.
Everllence reported, earlier in 2025, that the ME-GI engine reached 1,000 cumulative sales, with over 400 of the orders for its engines coming from the container segment alone.

The two-stroke, slow-speed LNG dual-fuel ME-GI engine was first introduced in 2014.
