A week on we reflect on what we heard at Posidonia. One of the strongest messages from Posidonia 2026 and the ship.energy Summit #SES26, where our CEO Dominik Schneiter joined industry leaders to discuss maritime decarbonisation, was that the conversation is evolving.
The focus is no longer just on which fuels will power shipping's future, but on how the industry scales solutions, manages compliance and supports vessels throughout their operational life.
Across the week, several themes stood out:
🔹 Growing interest in retrofit solutions
🔹 Increasing focus on service and lifecycle support
🔹 Continued momentum behind ammonia, methanol and ethanol
🔹 Greater attention on methane slip and FuelEU Maritime compliance
🔹 Recognition that technology is ready, but scaling deployment remains the next challenge
One message stood out above all: there is no single pathway to decarbonisation. Success will depend on combining the right technologies, fuels and support solutions to meet the needs of different vessel types and operations.
🙏 Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation in Athens.

The reality is that the industry's decarbonisation pathway will be shaped not only by the vessels being ordered today, but by the thousands of ships already in operation.
At WinGD, we see retrofit solutions and conversion-ready engine platforms as key enablers of that transition. They allow operators to reduce emissions in the near term while maintaining the flexibility to adapt as fuel availability, regulation and technology continue to evolve.
The challenge is not choosing between acting today and preparing for tomorrow. It is about doing both: making practical decisions that deliver emissions reductions now while keeping future fuel pathways open.

WinGD Ltd. has reached a major milestone in shipping's decarbonisation journey with the delivery of ANTWERPEN to Exmar, the world's first ocean-going vessel designed to operate on ammonia fuel.
Powered by WinGD's X52DF-A ammonia-fuelled engine, the vessel demonstrates that ammonia propulsion has now moved into commercial reality, opening a new chapter in the adoption of zero-carbon marine fuels.
Developed through close collaboration between WinGD Ltd., Exmar, HD Hyundai Engine Machinery Division (HHI-EMD) and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, ANTWERPEN is the first of four ammonia dual-fuel midsize gas carriers that will help build confidence in ammonia as a practical fuel solution for deep-sea shipping.
Following successful factory testing, type approval and sea trials, the project demonstrates how collaboration across the maritime value chain can turn innovation into operational reality.
With 40 X-DF-A engines already on order across gas carriers, bulk carriers, tankers and container vessels, ammonia is poised to play an increasingly important role in the future marine fuel mix.

As discussions begin in Athens this week, flexibility continues to be a major theme across the industry, from fuel strategy and regulatory compliance to retrofit potential and lifecycle support.
For WinGD Ltd., that conversation spans both established and emerging pathways, reflected in a growing portfolio that includes #X-DF, X-DF-HP, #ammonia, #methanol and #ethanol-capable engine solutions. Recent milestones, including surpassing 1,000 X-DF engine orders, also underline the continued role LNG is playing in the industry’s transition.
The WinGD team will be at Posidonia Events throughout the week discussing how different technologies, fuels and optimisation strategies can support varying operational needs and decarbonisation goals.
📍 Hall 3 | Stand 3.112
Come and speak with the team to explore where WinGD can support your pathway forward.

“As another methanol-fuelled ship joins the global fleet, we’re proud to play our part in the industry’s decarbonisation journey.”
Dominik Schneiter, CEO, WinGD
The delivery of the methanol-powered to Tema Maersk marks another exciting milestone for alcohol-fuelled shipping and the continued adoption of scalable zero or near-zero emission (ZNZ) fuel solutions across the industry.
Powered by WinGD Ltd.’s X82DF-M/E engine platform, the vessel demonstrates how fuel-flexible propulsion technologies are moving from ambition to commercial reality - supporting shipowners with practical pathways towards lower-emission operations while maintaining operational confidence and flexibility.
We are proud to work alongside pioneering partners like A.P. Moller - Maersk and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings in helping drive shipping’s next chapter forward.
