Efficient, versatile solutions are key for modern tanker operation
Tankers vary in size from small, local coastal tankers to ULCC (ultra large crude carriers), which are among the largest ships in the oceans today. Designed for the specific needs of their cargo and preferred trading route, the draft is usually limited by the depth of specific ports or straights. These workhorses need to perform even in the toughest conditions, delivering their valuable cargo safely without spills or accidents. Tankers frequently sail in environmentally sensitive areas subject to strict NOx, SOx, and particulate emission requirements. They need durable yet efficient engines and propulsion systems to keep them sailing strong while staying within these limits.
Everllence engines are engineered for extraordinary demands and offers tailored solutions for these needs – from high-performance two-stroke engines to fuel-flexible four-stroke configurations.

Powerful, strong and reliable: Everllence B&W two-stroke engines for your tanker
Our electronically controlled ME engines offer countless advantages such as optimized fuel and lube oil consumption, as well as improved low-load operation – based on the many decades of success enjoyed by their mechanically controlled predecessors.
With the introduction of the GI gas injection concept, we began a new chapter in diesel history. The Everllence B&W ME-GI – a highly efficient, flexible propulsion solution – offers shipowners the option of using fuel oil or methane. Similary, the Everllence B&W ME-GIE can be operated on liquified ethane gas (LEG) as well as fuel oil, making it the optimal choice for ethane carriers.
In addition to the GI gas injection engines, our LGI engine concept with liquid gas injection is a popular choice for modern cargo vessels: The ME-LGI is impressive because it can be operated with fuels with a low flash point and low sulfur content, such as LPG and methanol.
Smart and efficient: Everllence four-stroke solutions
Everllence’s four-stroke engine solutions offer LNG carriers high flexibility, strong perfomance, and low emissions – all while meeting the strict standards of the LNG sector. With dual-fuel capabilities and advanced system integration, they ensure efficiency, safety, and profitability on every voyage.
The 49/60DF engine, integrated with our Dual-Fuel Electric Plus (DFE+) propulsion system, delivers efficient, variable-speed operation while significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Its compact footprint maximizes cargo space—making it the smart choice for next-generation tankers.
The 35/44DF CD GenSet delivers top-tier power density with significantly reduced methane slip, helping to cut emissions while keeping maintenance low and reliability high.
Whether for main propulsion or onboard power, Everllence’s four-stroke portfolio is your solid choice for LNG cargo operations today – and tomorrow.

B&W ME-GI
The ME-GI engine impresses with extremely lowest methane slip and very high fuel efficiency. It is the most environmentally friendly methane-fuelled engine on the market. By the optional use of fuel oil or LNG/bio-methane/SNG, it represents a highly efficient, flexible, propulsion-plant solution.
- Engine speed: rpm to 56 – 167
- Output: 4,350 – 82,440 kW at L1
Our ME-LGIM is a dual-fuel engine characterized by its high efficiency and capability of operating on methanol. With a proven record of more than 600,000 operating hours on methanol alone, the engine concept provides a high degree of reliability. When fuelled by green methanol, our ME-LGIM engine can offer truly carbon-neutral propulsion, while reducing sulfur and particle matter emissions significantly at the same time.
- Engine speed: 56 – 125 rpm
- Output: 6,950 – 82,440 kW at L1
B&W ME-C
Our ME-C engines with electronic controls serve up a host of advantages. You can look forward to superior performance parameters, compactness, fully integrated electronic control as well as the necessary fuel injection pressure and rate shaping at any load. Plus, the ME-C engine can be retrofitted for alternative fuels such as methanol, LPG, methane or ethane as well as ammonia estimated for 2026.
- Engine speed: rpm to 56 – 167
- Output: 4,350 – 82,440 kW at L1
The 35/44DF CD (former MAN 35/44DF CD) engine is the perfect match for your GenSet demands, providing the highest power output, low emissions, a foundation for future fuels, and an attractive business case – either CAPEX or OPEX.
