Switzerland-based marine power company WinGD has been tapped to supply its X-DF-M dual-fuel methanol and methanol-ready X-engine designs for over 30 boxships to be constructed for a Taiwanese container shipping player.

As disclosed, the methanol-ready X-92 engines are to be fitted onto vessels with a 16,000 TEU capacity. The order reportedly follows a booking from earlier this year that entailed the equipping of fourteen 8,700 TEU container vessels with the X-82 solution and of six units of the same capacity with the X-82-DF-M methanol-fueled engines.
