This world-first order for a G80 methanol engine is just a continuation of the general market trend toward methanol where the ME-LGIM engine has become the de facto industry standard for large, methanol-fuelled, merchant marine vessels. As such, methanol is quickly becoming the most prominent alternative fuel in the container vessel segment.
