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.
WinGD and Envision Energy Study Shows Path to Green Ammonia Cost Parity
WinGD, a Swiss marine power company and Envision, a world-leading green technology company have released a pioneering study analysing the operational costs of ships powered by renewable fuels.

🚢 Why mid-bore engines are the next growth battlefield (and why 2025 changed everything)
WinGD Ltd.’s latest insight piece, “Why mid-bore engines are the next growth battlefield (and why 2025 changed everything)”, explores how a once-stable segment is being reshaped by shifting fuel strategies, regulatory uncertainty and evolving competitive dynamics.
🗣️ In the article, Andrea Lazzaro, Head of Business Development, WinGD explains why 2025 marked a turning point for the mid-bore market. What was historically a conservative, “locked-in” segment is now rapidly expanding and transforming, as owners prioritise flexibility, retrofit readiness and long-term value in an uncertain regulatory landscape.
With conventional fuels regaining dominance and investment decisions under pressure, the ability to adapt has become critical. Flexible, retrofit-capable engine designs are emerging as a practical pathway, allowing shipowners to optimise today’s operations while staying prepared for tomorrow’s fuel transition.
