Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) says that it has received Approval in Principle (AIP) from DNV for its methanol-ready QSK60 IMO II and IMO III engines, available from 2000 – 2,700 hp (1,491 – 2.013 kW).
Received in June 2024, the AIP validates Cummins retrofittable methanol dual-fuel solution for the global marine market, ensuring it meets the highest standards of safety and performance.
Following extensive field testing, Cummins plans to launch the retrofit kits post-2028 to align with market demand and infrastructure readiness. These kits will be particularly suited for diesel-electric systems that can be integrated with a battery, optimizing efficiency and sustainability.
As set out by Cummins in November 2023, this project — with its focus on the conversion of existing engine installations — offers a seamless transition between present and future builds of new, cleaner technology ships.
“Using a retrofittable solution dismisses the need for a major vessel overhaul and creates an immediate positive impact on carbon-emissions reduction,” said Dawn Wehr,
