  • Open-loop
  • Closed-loop
  • Hybrid
  • I-type
  • U-type
  • No-packing design, lower OPEX and CAPEX

03Fuel gas supply system

Ready for methanol, LNG, LPG and ammonia.

Headway’s own FGSS, developed with leading research institutes and universities, serves medium- and low-speed dual-fuel engines, inland single- and dual-fuel engines and generators. It was the first in the industry to obtain a Functional Safety Certificate, and a Smart Fleet Management Platform monitors every critical parameter in real time.

  • First with a Functional Safety Certificate
  • Methanol approvals in principle
  • Methanol, LNG, LPG and ammonia solutions
  • AiP by DNV, ABS, BV, RS, RINA and NK
04Carbon capture, storage and utilisation

Ammonia-free carbon capture, modular by design.

OceanGuard® CCSU absorbs more CO₂ than conventional MEA or DMEA technology, without ammonia pollution. Its modular design fits flexibly on board, and installed with OceanGuard® EGCS it brings:

38.5%less power consumption

25%lower fuel cost with OceanGuard® EGCS
