WinGD awarded Global Service agreement for three TMS Cardiff Gas LNG carrier newbuilds
WinGD has secured a long-term engine service agreement covering three newbuilds operated by Athens-based ship management company TMS Cardiff Gas Ltd. The three LNG carriers built by HD Hyundai Samho in South Korea, are each equipped with two of WinGD’s 5X72DF dual fuel engines.
WinGD dual-fuel technology gives Polaris Shipping flexibility across methanol and ethanol
WinGD has won a contract that will give Polaris Shipping true fuel flexibility for its future Newcastlemax fleet with an order of four X72DF-M-1.0 engines that can operate on methanol and ethanol. The ability to operate on either fuel gives Polaris Shipping greater flexibility to respond to changes in fuel availability, pricing and regulatory requirements over the vessels' operating lives and is a key benefit of WinGD’s innovative alcohol-fuel engine platform.
WinGD shows payback on retrofit pathways to net-zero in latest Fuel Economics Report
Retrofitting for alternative fuels could help ship operators reach net-zero emissions cost-effectively, but further policy support is needed to strengthen the business case and ensure maritime decarbonisation targets are met. That is the key finding from the latest Fuel Economics Report published by WinGD.
Ethanol emerges as a marine fuel with big name backing
When one of the world’s biggest dry bulk charterers backs a new alternative fuel type, the industry takes notice. But to anyone paying attention over the past decade, the emergence of ethanol as a viable marine fuel will have been no surprise even before Shandong Shipping’s order in May for the world’s first ethanol-fuelled two-stroke engines - underwritten by a long-term charter to global mining giant Vale.
Can green ammonia become the first financially viable ZNZ fuel?
Renewable fuels with zero or near-zero (ZNZ) emissions may seem a distant and expensive prospect for many ship operators. A recent report from WinGD and Envision shows how fast that could change, writes Fabio Cococcetta, Product Manager – Engines.

🚢 WinGD Ltd. strengthens lifecycle support for the Greek shipping community
WinGD has secured a long-term engine service agreement covering three newbuild LNG carriers operated by Athens-based ship management company TMS Cardiff Gas Ltd.
Built by HD Hyundai Samho in South Korea, each vessel is equipped with two WinGD 5X72DF dual-fuel engines.
🤝 The agreement further strengthens WinGD’s lifecycle support for the Greek shipping community – one of the world’s most important shipowning and ship management markets and home to some of the world’s most significant internationally trading fleets.
Jürgen Gerdes, General Manager Global Service Sales at WinGD, said: “Our solutions make a real difference to the performance and profitability of ships. With Global Service by WinGD, we can safeguard efficiency, reliability and performance throughout a vessel’s operational life, giving operators continued access to the same engine expertise behind the technology from day one. “Greece is an important market for WinGD. Supporting owners and managers throughout the lifecycle of their vessels is an important part of the continued development of Global Service by WinGD.”
⚙️ Global Service complements the lifecycle support already available to WinGD engine users through digital optimisation, hybrid energy integration and management, and crew training solutions.

🚢 Ammonia-powered shipping comes of age
From years of R&D and testing to hundreds of hours running on ammonia in commercial service – 2026 has marked an important step forward for WinGD Ltd.’s X-DF-A technology.
From years of R&D and testing to hundreds of hours running on ammonia in commercial service – 2026 has marked an important step forward for WinGD Ltd.’s X-DF-A technology.
He also looks ahead: accumulating running hours on ammonia and continuing to build real-world operational experience, while learning more about material durability and maintenance requirements under real sailing conditions.
The conversation also covers alternative-fuel retrofits, methanol and ethanol, LNG, efficiency technologies and hybrid-battery solutions and why lifecycle flexibility will be increasingly important through the energy transition.
đź‘Ź Thanks to John Snyder for the conversation and for taking a closer look at the progress being made.

🔎 ICYMI: Exploring the economics of alternative-fuel retrofits
At SMM Hamburg earlier this month, WinGD Ltd. launched its latest Fuel Economics Report, taking a closer look at a question that will become increasingly important as shipping moves towards net zero: what is the business case for retrofitting existing vessels for alternative fuels?
The report models the economics of retrofitting a 16,000 TEU container vessel in 2030 for LNG, methanol or ammonia using WinGD’s high-pressure dual-fuel engine technologies.
🔹 Under the assumptions modelled, all three pathways outperform continued VLSFO operation over the vessel lifetime on costs and emissions reduction. 🔹 LNG delivers the strongest and earliest financial return. 🔹 Ammonia and bio-methanol offer substantially deeper emissions reductions, but with longer payback periods. 🔹 Retrofit CAPEX itself is not the dominant factor in the business case – fuel price, fuel GHG intensity and regulatory treatment have a much greater influence on lifetime economics.
The findings highlight the potential for alternative-fuel retrofits to provide a cost-effective pathway for the existing fleet, while also showing why stronger policy support will be important in making the pathways offering the deepest emissions reductions commercially attractive.

âš“ Powering progress this World Maritime Day
This year’s #WorldMaritimeDay theme reflects a challenge the maritime industry knows well: turning ambition into practical progress.
For WinGD Ltd., that means continuing to develop technologies that give shipowners options as the regulatory landscape, fuel availability and pathways to decarbonisation continue to evolve.
Across LNG, methanol, ethanol and ammonia, we are seeing new technologies move from development and testing into engine production and commercial operation. At the same time, efficiency technologies, digital optimisation and retrofit solutions are helping the existing fleet reduce emissions and improve performance.
🤝The next steps for shipping will continue to take shape, but progress cannot stand still. Collaboration across the maritime value chain will be essential to ensure that emerging requirements can ultimately be translated into safe, reliable and practical solutions onboard.
The next chapter of maritime excellence will be defined by what we put into practice.
