State-of-the-art technology for your vessel
We are combining four-stroke engines and a future use of methanol in the most practical way. We understand your need to remain flexible in light of constant change in the marine industry. That is why we do not ask you to commit and invest in methanol capability today. We offer you the flexibility of a new engine that can be converted to run on methanol via retrofit. At the forefront of these developments are the methanol-ready 32/44CR, 49/60, and 175D.
Following the footsteps of two-stroke engines
Our two-stroke segment already offers the Everllence B&W ME-LGIM engines for large merchant vessels – our first methanol engine came into service in 2016. Today, we are applying our proven know-how to the four-stroke segment. All four-stroke engines are fuel efficient, making them a great choice for emission-conscious cruise ships and ferry operations. Our propulsion solutions meet the need of future-proof operations combined with lasting performance in passenger transport. Heavy-duty operations on workboats and OSV, such as platform-supply vessels, profit from engines that deliver an optimized life cycle to cost ratio.
Our methanol-ready portfolio
We provide engines that can run on currently available fuels with the best efficiency. To achieve this, we are adapting our engines to run on methanol after retrofitting when methanol is more widely available. Green methanol is not widely available today but planned in more numbers. Additionally, the price for green methanol has the potential to drop in the future with rising availability, while costs for conventional fuel types are predicted to keep rising.
Until increased green methanol availability is the new status quo, you can rely on efficient and reliable engines that comply with the latest emission regulations. Besides the new 35/44DF CD GenSet, we are offering three methanol-ready propulsion engines: 32/44CR, 49/60, and 175D.

Benefits of being methanol-ready
Our range of services includes technical support, consulting and OEM spares, as well as maintenance, repair, and comprehensive individualized service plans.
Low CO2 emissions
While green methanol is a net-zero fuel, the engines may require a small amount of pilot fuel, resulting in some carbon emissions. Our methanol-ready four-stroke engines, based on the high efficiency level offer low CO2 emissions for whichever fuel they are running on. This ensures there is no compromise on compliance with the latest regulations.
Future-proofness
The inherent retrofit potential of the four-stroke engine portfolio enables us to provide shipowners with flexibility regarding future fuels. Investing in one of our new methanol-ready engines means you have high-efficiency propulsion on conventional fuels and the option to convert to methanol capability whenever you see fit. The retrofit can be combined with planned overhaul activities.
High Efficiency
Our methanol-ready engines work with the same high efficiency as conventional fuel engines. After retrofit, the switching between methanol and conventional fuels is seamless and thereby supports reliable and continuous operation of the engine. Methanol handling costs are low, reducing the complexity of storage and bunkering infrastructure at vessels.
