曼柴油机与透平已经赢得了合同，为其提供6个中国液化天然气运输船（LNGCs）的引擎。30×的的MAN 51/60DF双燃料发动机的顺序是一个重大的发展为中国船厂以及LNGC的市场。客户是一个财团，形成的中石化冠德，MOL和总部位于上海的CSLNG中国海运公司，一个女儿。

新秩序的配置涵盖5×8L51/60DF引擎，所有引擎都国际海事组织（IMO）Tier II标准的柴油模式，将在天然气模式下更低的废气排放比国际海事组织（IMO）Tier III规定 - 燃料共享模式被应用到每个单元。

每个新造船将有一个有效载荷174,000立方米DF​​DE的（双燃料柴油电）驱动，为客户提供了最佳的冗余。船只将在中国建立一个的DFDE配置的第一个大型液化天然气运输船。

船只将坐落在上海江南长兴生产一号线，现在沪东责任在沪东中华船厂建造，后父组中国国家船舶工业集团公司（CSSC）重新组织了生产设施。船舶交付时，将加载在格拉德斯通液化天然气，澳大利亚为中国的进口码头 - 青岛，北海，天津，连云港，温州一些。钢切削首舰将于2014年1月。在第四季度，2017年第六届船舶将交付。曼柴油机与透平发动机将在德国南部奥格斯堡工程设计和建造的报告。

燃料共享模式
燃料共享模式（FSM）描述的双燃料发动机的燃料气体的混合物（NG，NBOG -自然蒸发气体）和燃料油（MGO，MDO或HFO）的操作，在目标比。所有气缸同时共享相同的燃料比操作。MAN柴油机和涡轮欧文布尼，销售经理-海洋中等速度的业务单元，总部设在奥格斯堡说：“还没有，这个顺序是另一个成功的51/60DF的燃料共享能力，一个特殊的功能和我们特别集中的原因之一在液化天然气运输船与51/60DF单元的应用。这对中国的顺序是相同的配置，我们最近在日本和预示着降落以及对未来的的另一个里程碑LNGC订单的后面。“

MAN Diesel & Turbo has won the contract to supply the engines for six Chinese LNG carriers (LNGCs). The order for the 30 × MAN 51/60DF dual-fuel engines is a significant development for both Chinese shipyards as well as the LNGC market. The customer is a consortium, formed by Sinopec Kantons, MOL and Shanghai-based CSLNG, a daughter company of China Shipping.

The configuration for the new order covers 5 × 8L51/60DF engines,  all of the engines are IMO Tier II-compliant in diesel mode and will have lower exhaust-gas emissions in natural gas mode than IMO Tier III stipulates – fuel-sharing mode will be applied to each unit.

Each newbuilding will have a payload of 174,000 m³ and be DFDE (dual-fuel diesel electrical)-driven, providing the customer with the optimum redundancy. The vessels will be the first large LNG carriers with a DFDE configuration built in China.

The vessels will be constructed at Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard located in Shanghai at the Jiangnan Changxing Production Line No.1, now the responsibility of Hudong, following parent group China State Shipbuilding Corporation’s (CSSC) re-organisation of production facilities. When delivered, the ships will load LNG in Gladstone, Australia for a number of Chinese import terminals –Qingdao, Beihai, Tianjin, Lianyungang and Wenzhou.  Steel cutting on the first ship will be in January 2014. The sixth ship will be delivered in the fourth quarter, 2017. MAN Diesel & Turbo reports that the engines will be designed and built at its Augsburg works in southern Germany.

Fuel-sharing mode
Fuel Sharing Mode (FSM) describes the operation of a dual-fuel engine with a mixture of fuel gas (NG, NBOG – natural boil-off gas) and fuel oil (MGO, MDO or HFO) at a certain ratio. All cylinders operate at the same fuel-sharing ratio simultaneously. MAN Diesel & Turbo’s Erwin Boijmans, Sales Manager – Marine Medium Speed business unit, based in Augsburg said: “This order is yet another success for the 51/60DF’s fuel-sharing capability, a special feature and one of the reasons we have especially focused on LNG carrier applications with the 51/60DF unit. This Chinese order comes on the back of another milestone LNGC order with the same configuration we recently landed in Japan and augurs well for the future.”
