FuelTech launches next-generation Gas Valve Train Mk V for LNG propulsion

Developed for Everllence’s ME-GI 10.7 engine platform, the new Gas Valve Train Mk V builds on more than a decade of commercial GVT experience, introducing higher pressure capability alongside improvements in reliability and serviceability.

FuelTech today announces the launch of GVT Mk V, the latest generation of its Gas Valve Train technology for LNG propulsion.

The launch comes as shipowners balance requirements for operational efficiency with a changing outlook for marine fuels. Fuel availability, economics, regulation and decarbonization requirements continue to evolve, making both current performance and longer-term flexibility important considerations when investing in new vessels.

In response to these developments, GVT Mk V brings FuelTech’s existing GVT experience into a new product generation. With more than 900 GVT units delivered and over 800 vessels equipped worldwide, the new design builds on more than a decade of commercial and operational experience with LNG fuel systems.
