Mitsubishi ammonia equipment gains WinGD preapproval
In Japan, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding secured supplier pre-approval from Swiss engine developer WinGD for two components of its MAmmoSS ammonia fuel handling system, becoming the first Japanese company to receive the certification following technical evaluations of its design, manufacturing and quality assurance capabilities, the company announced Nov. 9.
The approval covers a fuel valve unit and an ammonia injector cooling water system for WinGD’s X-DF-A two-stroke marine engines. The equipment controls ammonia delivery, removes residual fuel from piping and cools fuel injectors. “This approval is the result of our joint development and technical studies with WinGD on ammonia fuel-related technologies and represents a major step forward toward the adoption of ammonia-fueled ships,” Mitsubishi Shipbuilding President Shin Ueda said.
Mitsubishi plans to bring both components to market as part of its MAmmoSS system, which integrates ammonia fuel supply, treatment and centralized control.
