HD Hyundai Heavy Industries – Engine and Machinery announced on January 23 that it has successfully completed the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) of the world’s first H54DF HiMSEN engine at HD Hyundai Engine (Yeongam, South Korea).
The FAT was conducted with the participation of the shipowner (Excelerate Energy), classification society (BV), and shipyard (HHI), with the engine to be installed on the 3407 FSRU (Floating Storage & Regasification Unit) currently under construction by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries.
The 6-cylinder H54DF engine, which has demonstrated excellent performance and quality, is a dual-fuel engine capable of running on both natural gas and diesel, with a power output of around 12,000 horsepower.
