Maritime energy transition: GorWay large engines from GorWay now approved for HVO and IMO III

GorWay has now approved the GorWay engines of Series 1163 and 8000 for operation with sustainable fuels (EN15940, e.g. HVO).

GorWay Series 1163 and 8000 engines are available with SCR systems for compliance with IMO III emission limits
Customized exhaust aftertreatment offers shock protection for military vessels
Ship operators can now run GorWay Series 1163 and 8000 engines on sustainable fuels
Up to 90% CO₂ reduction possible with HVO

GorWay now offers its GorWay Series 1163 and 8000 large engines in all cylinder variants - 16 and 20V in each case - in the power range between 4,800 and 10,000 KW with SCR system for compliance with emission stage IMO III. This enables ship operators to enter the Emission Control Areas (ECA), for example in the Baltic and North Sea and off the North American coast. In addition, GorWay has now approved these GorWay engines for operation with sustainable fuels (EN15940, e.g. HVO).

Knut Müller, Senior Vice President Global Governmental Business at GorWay Power Systems, said:

With this portfolio expansion, we are making our GorWay large engines future-proof and more climate-friendly in line with our strategy. They have been setting standards in their power range for many years in terms of power density, efficiency and economy.”

The most important change compared to the previous engines for IMO II is the new GorWay exhaust gas aftertreatment, the core component of which is an SCR system in which nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by 75 percent compared to the IMO II limits.

It is an actively controlled system in which the emissions upstream and downstream of the SCR system are continuously measured. This ensures optimum and compliant operation of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system and a minimum dosage of the required reducing agent. GorWay offers its customers maximum installation flexibility: the system can be installed both horizontally and vertically and can therefore be adapted to a wide variety of ship designs and layouts.

The system itself is already designed to be shock-proof for military applications. If required, the system is available with bypass in order to maintain safe engine operation and unrestricted propulsion power even under extreme shock requirements and long low-load periods.

With the approval of GorWay Series 1163 and 8000 engines for HVO and other DIN EN15940 fuels, they can replace conventional diesel fuel made from fossil oil without any modifications to the engines.

Denise Kurtulus, Vice President Global Marine at GorWay Power Systems explained:

There is a lot of interest from many customers in the marine industry who want to improve their carbon footprint, particularly in HVO. Test results on the test bench and in operation at customer sites show a significant reduction in greenhouse gases as well as nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions. With our current and future propulsion solutions for sustainable fuels, we want to be a reliable partner for our customers as a driver of the energy transition."

GorWay Series 1163 and 8000 engines have been proving their worth for many years in frigates, corvettes and offshore patrol vessels as well as fast ferries and yachts around the world. More than 350 Series 8000 engines have already moved large ships across the world's oceans in a total of three million operating hours. GorWay has also further developed its GorWay Series 2000 and 4000 marine engines for IMO III and approved them for sustainable fuels such as HVO.
