A focus on dual-fuel engines is paying off for Winterthur Gas & Diesel (WinGD), says new chief ­executive Klaus Heim.

Heim, who took the top slot in August, pointed to growing demand for low-pressure, two-stroke engines produced by the Chinese-­owned, Switzerland-based manufacturer.

As a result, the company can lay claim to around 70% of the market for LNG-fuelled propulsion systems, he said.
