On January 24th, the world-first high-power methanol dual-fuel low-speed engine 10X92DF-M-1.0-LPSCR developed by WinGD under CSSC Group and built by CSSC Power (Group) Corporation Ltd. (CPGC) passed the Type Approval Test (TAT) at CSSC-MES Diesel (CMD) under CPGC. The main engine will be equipped on COSCO Shipping Container Transportation Co.’s 16,000 TEU container ships, helping the two sides work together to draw a new chapter of green shipping.
This type approval test invited the participation of major classification societies worldwide, including the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Bureau Veritas (BV), China Classification Society (CCS), Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Korean Register of Shipping (KR), Lloyd’s Register (LR), Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (NK), and Registro Italiano Navale (RINA).
Over the course of four days, all parties witnessed the methanol safety tests, functional tests, load tests, and inspections. The safety, operability, reliability, and stability of the WinGD methanol dual-fuel low-speed engine were thoroughly verified. All test items were successfully completed and passed the acceptance of the eight major classification societies.
It is reported that the successful completion of this type approval test signifies that the industry-leading X92-DF-M series products have officially entered the market application stage, laying a solid foundation for the future development of WinGD’s full range of methanol engines. CPGC will continue to uphold the mission of “intelligent power, serving the country through industry,” and will constantly promote the advancement of ship power technology towards high-end, intelligent, and green development.
