Weichai LNG engines help a 10,000-ton giant ship brave the rapids of the Yangtze River
2026-08-08
Recently, a 130-meter LNG new energy fuel bulk carrier sailed upstream against the current in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, heading west and successfully rushing the beach. The surging power came from the Weichai WH20 micro-pilot ignition LNG engine.

The video was taken by a customer in the Jiangjin section of Chongqing in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, where the water flow is rapid, the river is narrow, and the bends are sharp. Therefore, navigating upstream through the beach mouth requires extremely high overall performance such as power performance and reliability of the ship. Two 1100 kW Weichai WH20 micro-pilot ignition LNG engines provide efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly marine power for the ship.

After passing the 1,000-hour durability evaluation, it is safer and more reliable, and under sudden load increase conditions such as rushing the beach, it improves the transient torque output capability, significantly improving the power response. Adopting the diesel high-pressure common rail micro-pilot ignition and micro-pilot ignition gas control system, the air-fuel ratio is adjustable under Full Work Conditions, making combustion more stable and gas consumption lower. Achieving near-zero emissions of sulfur oxides and particulate matter, and reducing carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions by over 20%.

Currently, the cumulative actual ship validation of Weichai"s micro-pilot ignition gas engine products has exceeded 21,000 hours. With its excellent product performance and thoughtful service, the Weichai micro-pilot ignition LNG engine has won widespread trust from customers, contributing Weichai"s strength to promoting ship energy conservation and emissions reduction and green shipping development.
