  "account": "Swiss marine power company WinGD has entered into its first-ever license agreement with engine builder HD Hyundai Marine Engine. The partnership will significantly expand WinGD's capacity to deliver dual-fuel and diesel engine designs to Korean-built two-stroke engines for bulk carrier and tanker newbuild projects, as well as other markets. HD Hyundai Marine Engine, previously STX Heavy Industries, was acquired by HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering in 2024. WinGD Vice President Product Centre, Peter Krähenbühl, attended the signing and expressed optimism about strengthening the availability and competitiveness of WinGD's mid-bore engine portfolio. The agreement involves the sharing of knowledge and experience to reduce costs and improve vessel design integration while maintaining high reliability and performance. WinGD's mid-bore engine series, including the X52 and X62, are deployable for various vessel segments and can be configured as dual-fuel engines for LNG, ammonia/LPG, or methanol/ethanol. The X-S short-stroke design, also available in 52- and 62-bore variants, offers improved efficiency and serviceability in constrained vessel arrangements.",
