Why mid-bore engines are the next growth battlefield (and why 2025 changed everything)
Think you know the mid-bore market? Think again, says Andrea Lazzaro, Head of Business Development at WinGD, who predicts a shift in market dynamics as regulatory uncertainty, changing fuel strategies and competitive dynamics prompt a rethink of what long-term value and retrofit-ready really looks like.

🚢From discussion to deployment: methanol & ethanol fuel flexibility in practice
Following the recent announcement of the world’s first orders for WinGD’s ethanol-fuelled X-DF-M/E engines for ocean-going vessels, interest in alcohol fuels continues to grow across the maritime industry.
Our recent WinGD Xperts webinar explored the technologies, operational considerations and market developments shaping the adoption of methanol and ethanol as marine fuels, from fuel availability and regulation to engine design, testing and service experience.
As shipowners seek practical and flexible pathways toward lower-emission operations, fuel-flexible engine platforms are becoming an increasingly important part of the transition conversation.

âš“Full Steam Ahead Moment for Ammonia-Fuelled Propulsion
The successful completion of Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) of WinGD Ltd.'s ammonia-fuelled two-stroke engine X-DF-A - this time in China - marks another step in the ongoing development of practical, zero-carbon propulsion solutions for shipping.
Carried out on the X52DF-A built by Yuchai Marine Power Co., Ltd (YCMP), destined for installation on the first of four LPG/ammonia carriers for Tianjin Southwest Maritime Ltd, reflects the continued progress of ammonia engine technology and its transition towards commercial application.
With a growing orderbook and increasing collaboration across the maritime value chain, ammonia is gaining traction as a scalable marine fuel, supported by parallel advances in engine technology, vessel design and fuel supply.

🛳️ Another Future Fuel Enters the Engine Room: Ethanol Joins the Transition Journey
WinGD Ltd. has secured the world’s first orders for ethanol-fuelled two-stroke engines for ocean-going vessels.
The first ethanol-fuelled X-DF-M/E engines will power two 325,000 DWT Newcastlemax ore carriers to be built for Shandong Shipping Corporation and operated under long-term charter for Vale.
The milestone reflects growing industry confidence in ethanol as a practical marine fuel option, supported by increasing fuel availability, developing infrastructure, and the need for scalable pathways to lower-emission shipping.
Building on WinGD’s established methanol engine concept, the ethanol-optimised X-DF-M/E platform further expands fuel flexibility across WinGD’s two-stroke portfolio, alongside LNG and ammonia solutions, helping owners align propulsion choices with operational and long-term decarbonisation strategies.

đź‘ International Day of Women in Maritime: Building Connection across WinGD Ltd.
This year’s International Maritime Organization's International Day for Women in Maritime was an opportunity to strengthen connections across our global teams. At our global offices we took time to gather, fostering old and new connections.
As WinGD grows globally, the number of women across WinGD has noticeably grown too - across all departments, teams and offices. It’s a dynamic community which is intentionally inclusive, supportive and strong. By taking time to get together outside of the busyness of the day-to-day, we learn more about each other’s journey, background and future aspirations. Sharing experiences, both professional and personal, helps create a culture where people feel supported, encouraged and connected.
These conversations and connections extend far beyond a single day. It’s an intentional community everyday, creating space for connection, mentorship and friendship. By investing in this community we add energy, perspectives and insights that help build thriving teams across our organisation.

🌊 The continued role of LNG in shipping’s transition
Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston last week brought together stakeholders from across the maritime value chain to discuss the technologies and strategies shaping the future of shipping.
As part of the programme, WinGD Ltd.’s Carmelo Cartalemi joined the technology panel at the Lloyd's Register Global LNG Forum, where discussions focused heavily on methane slip.
From the four-stroke “bad boys” to the latest generation of two-stroke concepts, the progress being made to reduce methane slip is significant. Combined with ongoing advances in fuel efficiency, today’s LNG-fuelled engines will continue to play an important role in supporting the industry’s energy transition in the years ahead.
🤝Innovation in low-carbon technologies was also firmly in focus throughout the week. One message was clear: clean-fuel technologies are advancing ahead of fuel availability and demand. This creates further opportunity for development, refinement and collaboration as infrastructure and adoption continue to grow.
