As the industry moves closer to IMO 2030 targets, the role of retrofit solutions remains firmly in focus.
WinGD Ltd.’s whitepaper “LNG-Fuelled Fleets Reducing Emissions: VCR retrofitting as a ready solution” sets out how LNG-fuelled vessels can achieve near-term emissions reductions through Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) retrofitting.
✍ The paper explores how VCR technology improves fuel efficiency and reduces methane slip across real-world operating profiles, without adding operational complexity or requiring changes to fuel strategy.
A practical, proven approach for owners looking to make measurable progress towards compliance.

🚦 WinGD on MEPC 84: “The signals needed to accelerate decarbonisation”
WinGD Ltd. is featured in an article from ship.energy "MEPC 84 EXPECTATIONS: Engine manufacturers have their say" where our CEO, Dominik Schneiter, shares his view on what the industry needs next.
🗣️ “The idealistic scenario is that MEPC 84 agrees to hold a vote in November on an NZF draft that includes GHG pricing and a robust zero or near-zero emissions fuel reward based on real emissions measurements. This will give the signals needed by fuel producers, technology developers and ship owners to accelerate their decarbonisation trajectories.”
While recognising that outcomes may be more incremental, we continue to support the development of frameworks that create real incentives for emissions reduction and enable meaningful progress across the maritime value chain.

🤝 Partnerships in Focus at Sea Japan
Momentum continued at Sea Japan last week as WinGD Ltd. connected with partners and industry peers at the Swiss Pavilion Reception, hosted by Ambassador Roger Dubach, in Tokyo.
Alongside our presence at the Swiss Pavilion, the week provided a valuable opportunity to reconnect with long-standing partners and build fresh momentum around the future of shipping.
🗣️ Speaking at the Swiss Pavilion Reception, Dominik Schneiter, CEO, WinGD said:
“The future of shipping is being written right now — in the choices we make on propulsion, on fuel, on sustainability. It will not be written by any one company or any one country. It will be written by partnerships.”

⛽ How flexible is WinGD Ltd.’s X-DF-M/E engine when it comes to fuel choice?
📽️ In our latest WinGD Xpert episode, Leif Knipstrom, Senior Product Manager Diesel/Methanol explains the versatility of the X-DF-M/E engine platform.
From a dual-fuel setup, running on ethanol with diesel backup, to a tri-fuel configuration that allows operation on ethanol, methanol, or any blend of the two, the flexibility is built in.
This means operators can freely choose the most available or suitable fuel at any given time, without compromising performance.
The result: greater fuel flexibility and operational efficiency, supporting the transition to low-carbon fuels.

Three days pass quickly. What stays with us are the conversations - with shipowners, operators and shipyards in Tokyo.
We had the opportunity to exchange perspectives with partners from across Asia and beyond. From LNG to ammonia, methanol and ethanol, to X-DF engines, X-EL solutions and retrofit pathways, the discussions reflected where the industry stands today.
Across the board, there is clear momentum, and a growing focus on practical steps, informed choices, and solutions that can be applied now.
🙏Thank you to everyone who visited us and took the time to connect with the team.
Until next time, Tokyo!

🤝 Decarbonising the maritime industry is not a solo journey
Together, Alfa Laval and WinGD Ltd. welcomed selected VIP participants to an Ammonia Conference in Monza, followed by a visit to the WinGD Engine Research & Innovation Centre (ERIC) in Winterthur. The tour hosted by Fabio Cococcetta and Sotiris Topaloglou, PhD, showcased how we are advancing low and zero-carbon fuel technologies.
At ERIC, our RTX-6 two-stroke test engine and new capabilities, including the Future Fuel Lab, enable continuous development of efficient, flexible fuel solutions.
Collaboration remains central to accelerating decarbonisation in shipping. By working together across the industry, we can drive the transition to sustainable maritime propulsion.

Catch Fabio Cococcetta at Argus Europe Next Week
WinGD Ltd. will be part of the discussion at the Argus Media Green Marine Fuels Europe Conference, where Fabio Cococcetta, Product Manager - Engines, will speak on ammonia engine compatibility, retrofitting, and safety considerations.
Catch Fabio on Day 1 as he explores key questions around the timeline for ammonia-ready engines, how ammonia compares to other alternative fuels in terms of performance, and the critical safety protocols required for bunkering and onboard handling.
📅Taking place from 28–30 April, the conference brings together industry stakeholders to examine regulation, fuel economics, and the practicalities of scaling alternative fuels.
If you’re attending, we’d be glad to see you there and continue the conversation on ammonia and the transition to low-carbon shipping.
