In Germany, Offshore Magazine reported that Ulstein Verft has ordered MAN 12V175D-MEV methanol-ready engines for two new commissioning service operation vessels ordered by Bernhard Schulte Offshore.
The vessels, designed to support the offshore wind sector, should be delivered in 2025.
MAN Energy Solutions’ 175D variable-speed gensets should provide reduced fuel consumption and emissions, according to the report.
Adopting methanol can cut CO2 emissions by up to 95% and nitrogen oxide by up to 80% compared to conventional fuels, MAN said, and it eliminates sulfur oxide and particulate matter altogether.
