WORLD BEST STX
STX Heavy Industries, providing one-stop service to
customers to satisfy customers and more service than customers' needs.
We provide a one-stop service to satisfy customers and meet customer needs based on our experience with technical partnerships with MAN-ES in engine design, manufacturing, sales, and A/S for a low-speed diesel engine for ships.
STX Heavy Industries produces high-quality large-sized low-speed diesel engines for ships and power plants through technical partnerships with MAN-ES. In 2011, we achieved a record of 15 million horsepower and 1,000 units produced in the world's shortest production period of large-sized engines. We became the first licensee to localize a licensed 51/60DF engine, a dual fuel engine mounted on LNG (liquefied natural gas) carriers.
As an alternative to stricter IMO environmental regulations, we succeeded in commissioning the world's first LPG dual-fuel engine (LGIP) for G-Type ships with MAN-ES in January 2020, producing engines as demand for VLGC increases. At the current bridge point of transition to the next-generation fuel that meets the environmental regulations of IMO 2050, we are leading and responding to the radical market change by providing suitable engines such as GI and LGIP produced by our company. Recently we have been trying to preoccupy the market with ME-GA engines.
In December 2019, STX Heavy Industries and MAN-ES successfully commissioned the world's first LPG dual-fuel engine for ship propulsion (LGIP-Liquid Gas Injection Propane).
The two companies signed an MOU for the LPG dual-fuel engine retrofit project, built an LPG engine production facility, and conducted R&D and type approval tests for the 6G60ME-C9.5-LGIP engine.
STX Heavy Industries has accumulated production/start-up experience and know-how in production/testing LPG engines for ships for the first time in the industry and has completed preparations for mass production of ME-LGIP.
ME-LGIP engines emit 80% less harmful exhaust gas such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and fine dust (PM) than existing ship oil, HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil), so it is possible to respond to IMO2050 environmental regulations even without installing scrubbers. Thus, firstly the application to LPG carriers is becoming standardized. The advantages of LPG fuel are eco-friendly, convenient bunkering due to easy storage and transfer, and a worldwide well-equipped fuel supply and demand infrastructure.
In addition to these advantages, ME-LGIP that uses LPG can also reduce CO2 by 20 to 25%, enabling EEDI regulatory response as a bridge fuel.
The ME-LGIP engine is expected to be easier to convert into an ammonia engine (to be released in 2024), which is considered a carbon-neutral fuel in the future, than an LNG propulsion engine. So, LPG propulsion ships can also be regarded as a representative supplement to prepare for strengthened IMO2050 environmental regulations.
As STX Heavy Industries produced the world's first ME-LGIP engine, it held product presentations and demonstrations with domestic customers and affiliates on January 30, 2020.
As customers' interest in LPG-powered ships and engines increased due to stricter global environmental regulations, LPG facilities built at the site of STX Heavy Industries and the world's first ME-LGIP engine commissioning site tour were held along with briefing sessions on the characteristics of LPG engines and overall LPG system. Thank you for your interest and support in ME-LGIP.
