Its Engine & Machinery division (HHI-EMD) is regarded as the world's largest builder of low-speed two-stroke engines by volume, mainly supplying HD Hyundai group shipyards.

The division builds the full Everllence B&W range under licence, including ME-C, ME-GI, ME-LGIM, ME-LGIP and ammonia-fuelled ME-LGIA engines, and hosted the first ME-LGIA factory acceptance test in 2026. It is also a WinGD licensee. Its own-design HiMSEN medium-speed engines are the leading marine auxiliary genset brand by volume and are offered for diesel, LNG, methanol and, with the H32CDF-LA and H22CDF-LA, high-pressure ammonia direct injection; the H22CDF-LA completed class approval testing witnessed by seven classification societies.

In 2026 it christened the 46,000 m3 gas carriers Antwerpen and Arlon for Exmar, which it describes as the world's first ammonia-powered vessels.
