WinGD’s X92-B engine has successfully passed its upgrade Type Approval Test (TAT)
The X92-B provides the best possible propulsion efficiency for modern large and ultra large container vessels due to the optimal selected cylinder power, shaft speed, stroke to bore ratio, and the highest efficiencies with a low emissions profile.
The world’s biggest container ship, Evergreen’s 24,000 TEU Ever Alot, was recently delivered with an eleven-cylinder X92-B engine.
The new WiCE advanced control system is standard on the X92-B, enhancing reliable performance.
The engine is also equipped with WiDE (WinGD’s integrated Digital Expert) for engine data analysis and remote support, both critical elements for operating vessels in the best condition with the highest possible engine availability.
