Ten 325,000 dwt VLOCs (Very Large Ore Carriers) being built for charter to Brazilian mining giant Vale will be powered by Everllence ME-LGIM engines.
The vessels are being built for Chinese shipping companies Shandong Shipping Corp. and Bohai Ocean Shipping Co Ltd. at Qingdao Beihai shipyard which has ordered ten Everllence B&W 7G80ME-LGIM (-Liquid Gas Injection Methanol) Mk 10.5 engines for the vessels. On delivery, the vessels will immediately go out on charter to Vale sailing from Brazil to China with cargoes of iron ore.
Each engine will come accompanied by an Everllence proprietary EGRTC (Exhaust Gas Recirculation – Turbocharger Cut-out) system for Tier III NOx compliance.
