Winterthur Gas & Diesel (WinGD) and Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) will work together for another ten years. The two companies have signed a corresponding agreement in Winterthur, Switzerland.
The agreement covers the sale, manufacturing and servicing of WinGD low-speed marin[ds_preview]e engines. HHI is a long-standing member of the WinGD family of low-speed engine licensees.
WinGD and HHI look back on a long and successful relationship. Besides building many engines, HHI has, over the years, also contributed to the development of WinGD low-speed engines and built the first examples of new engine types like the RT-flex82C/ 82T and X92.
»WinGD and HHI have a long common history of introducing new technologies to the international shipbuilding industry. The extension of our licence co-operation agreement will enable us to strengthen our presence in the important Korean shipbuilding market and ensures that in the years to come our customers will continue to benefit from the availability of competitive, high-quality fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly main propulsion engines for all merchant vessels built by shipyards in HHI territory«, said Martin Wernli, CEO, WinGD.
