X82DF is a seven-cylinder dual-fuel engine, and will be the first to power a VLCC with LNG, the company claims. The engine features the new control system WinGD Integrated Control Electronics (WiCE) and the integrated gas pressure regulator.
It rounds out WinGD’s portfolio of low-pressure, dual-fuel engines which cover the full engine bore range of 40-92 centimetres.
The newest addition of the engine portfolio offers enhanced propulsion options within the very large crude carriers (VLCC), very large ore carriers (VLOC) and Panamax container vessel segments.
