Everllence wins Indian chemical tanker order

Everllence is to supply dual-fuel propulsion technology for six chemical tankers in India’s expanding commercial shipbuilding sector

Everllence has inked a deal with Swan Defence and Heavy Industries Limited (SDHI) to supply two-stroke, dual-fuel engine technology for a series of six 18,000-dwt IMO Type II chemical tankers, marking a significant development for India’s commercial shipbuilding industry.

The contract represents SDHI’s first two-stroke newbuilding order since the revitalisation of its shipyard at Pipavav, Gujarat, India’s largest shipyard by capacity. The programme also marks India’s first order for chemical tankers, reflecting growing ambitions to expand domestic shipbuilding capabilities.

Rear Admiral Vipin Kumar Saxena IN (retd.), chief executive of SDHI, said: “This marks the first newbuilding contract for SDHI for two-stroke engines. Everllence and MITSUI E&S are experts in future-focused marine-propulsion technologies, and our collaboration with them paves the way for building vessels that will deliver higher efficiency with greater power output and better fuel economy.”
