Engine manufacturer Everllence on Tuesday (19 May) reported continued momentum for its Mk10.7 two‑stroke engine platform, reflecting a market where shipowners are increasingly seeking to balance long‑term decarbonisation ambitions with near‑term energy security, fuel availability and operational resilience.
The Mk10.7 platform represents Everllence’s latest generation of two‑stroke engine design, developed around classic design principles and a modular architecture that supports conventional fuel operation (ME‑C) as well as dual‑fuel configurations, including methanol (ME‑LGIM) and methane (ME‑GI).
This approach enables shipowners to make robust investment decisions today, while retaining the flexibility to adapt to evolving fuel supply-chains, regulatory frameworks and decarbonisation pathways over a vessel’s lifetime.
Bjarne Foldager, Head of Two-Stroke Business, Everllence, said: “Today’s shipowners are navigating a dual challenge: advancing the energy transition while safeguarding energy security and commercial resilience. What we are seeing with Mk10.7 is not a shift towards a single fuel but a clear preference for flexibility. Owners want solutions that allow them to move forward on decarbonisation without locking themselves into one pathway prematurely.”
Recent orders confirm the strong uptake of Mk10.7 single‑fuel engines, alongside adoption of dual‑fuel variants within the same engine architecture. As of April 2026, Everllence’s orderbook comprises more than 160 × Mk10.7 engines, underscoring strong market confidence in the platform. Everllence views this momentum as clear validation of the Mk10.7 platform’s role as a strategic foundation for modern newbuilding projects.
Most recently, the Yantai CIMC Raffles shipyard in China ordered 8 × 6G70ME-C 10.7 LGIM (Liquid Gas Injection Methanol) engines in connection with the construction of eight containerships for Hapag-Lloyd. Hanwha Engine will build the engines in Korea; an option for six further engines exists.
Christian Ludwig, Vice President, Head of Global Sales & Promotion, Two-Stroke Business, Everllence, said: “The Mk10.7 platform is designed precisely for this flexible market reality. By offering a common, robust engine architecture across conventional fuel and multiple dual‑fuel options, we enable shipowners to balance efficiency, reliability and future optionality. This combination is increasingly becoming a cornerstone of energy security in newbuilding projects.”
