Future-ready decarbonization:
MAN PrimeServ's dual-fuel conversions
Decarbonization, greater efficiency and alternative E-fuels are just some of the benefits our advanced retrofit solutions provide.
MAN PrimeServ constantly develops and provides retrofit products and solutions, allowing the existing fleet of vessels to meet new and future environmental legislations while enabling the vessels to operate on new alternative fuels like LNG, ammonia, and methanol.
When existing vessels retrofit to new alternative E-fuels like Methanol or Ammonia the CO2 emission could decrease with more than 90 %
Dual-fuel conversions for marine applications
For decades, MAN Energy Solutions engines have been the backbone of the marine industries. Times are changing fast, which is why we are supporting our customers’ journey to decarbonization with cost-effective dual-fuel conversions that deliver performance and flexibility only the original engine designer can provide.
Marine two-stroke
Increasingly strict limits on two-stroke vessel emissions have given rise to new solutions for greener maritime operations. For example, E-fuels have now become a truly viable bunker fuel option, paving the way for dual-fuel systems that meet environmental legislation.
LNG, ethane, and LPG fuels reduce air pollution significantly while methanol has a net-zero CO2 emission footprint. And with green ammonia coming to the market, you will be able to switch to 100% carbon-free fuels with MAN Energy Solutions.
Since any ME-C engine with a bore size of at least 50 can be converted for dual-fuel operation, more than 4,500 vessels could potentially be retrofitted to run on new alternative fuels like LNG, ethane, LPG, methanol and ammonia.

MAN PrimeServ is focused on helping you to leverage greater value from your four-stroke assets, today and for the future. Our dual-fuel conversions not only enable more sustainable and efficient propulsion and power generation at sea, but they will help you to stay compliant with international regulations. Dual-fuel conversion packages from MAN PrimeServ range from the straightforward conversion of the main engine to turnkey solutions that include the gas systems. Our highly experienced teams are ready with the expertise and hardware to support you at every step, from initial conversation to final handover. As the original designers of your engine, you can trust us to deliver performance and reliability your business can depend upon.
How you benefit from four-stroke dual-fuel conversions:
- Switch between gas and liquid for full flexibility
- Possible back up from gas to fuel oil
- Reduce SOx to near zero, NOx by 80%, and CO2 by 20%
- Cut fuel and operational costs
- Fast ROI plus extended service life of components
- Comply with environmental regulations, ensuring access to local ports and harbors
Four-stroke dual-fuel conversion timelines
Having completed many dual-fuel conversions for four-stroke marine engines, MAN PrimeServ knows exactly how to keep everything on schedule and on budget.
If you don’t comply, you can’t operate. Many other methods to reduce emissions will never go as far as using alternative fuels.
