J-ENG's First MGO Mono-fuel engine demonstrated to the press

Japan Engine Corporation (J-ENG) has demonstrated the first UEC50LSJ-EGR engine’s running to the press.
This engine is designed for MGO(and/or MDO) mono-fuel operation and under development, which is subsidized by The Nippon Foundation.

The UEC50LSJ engine has the latest design to comply fully with the environmental requirements, NOx, SOx, and EEDI, under the concept of JUMP (J-ENG, Unique Marine Power) which has been working since last year.
Especially for the global cap to cope with SOx regulations, some solutions are being suggested in the shipping industry. UEC-LSJ engine is the best safety and reliable solution by applying MGO and/or MDO, those are stable and already used in the market, Compared to the other solutions.

This engine will contribute not only to save operation expenses by reducing its fuel oil consumption than that of conventional engine’s even using MGO whose price is supposed to be higher compared with current HFO, but also to improve EEDI.

Furthermore, thanks to MGO’s characteristics of not-required heating facilities and cleanliness, running costs not only in operation but also during anchoring can be saved.
All the related stake holders, ship owners, ship operators, shipyards and crew, will acquire the benefits through the above simple engine room total design.

Performance optimization and reliability verification tests are being conducted, and the intended targets will be achieved judging from the current test results.
J-ENG will contribute to marine and shipping industries by meeting global environmentally-
friendliness through further tests and fine tuning.
