HHI-EMD has successfully introduced the eco-friendly methanol HiMSEN engine H32DF-LM (3,000~4,500kW) for ultra-large container ships, with a total of 352 engines ordered and manufactured to date.
Following this, the newly developed H22CDF-LM (1,440~2,160kW) successfully completed its Type Approval Test in March.
