| Marinediesel Sweden AlJ has always been at the front of current and future emissions regulations. All engines arc designed with environmental concerns in mind while maintaining simple mechanical control and serviceability. 2003/44/EC - In effect in Europe from January ]M 2006, Only applies to Pleasure eraII marine propulsion engines i MO The international Maritime Organisation has issued regulation 13 to Annex VI of Marpol 73/78 winch entered into effect on January 1, 2000 fordicsel engines above 130 KW (1 75hp) installed on a boat ship. EPA - On January 1, 2004. emissions regulations mandated by the EPA entered into effect for new commercial marine dicsel engines installed on a vessels flagged or registered in the United Stales. The EPA has set forth two Tiers of standards with a phased implementation based on per cylinder displacement. Tier 1 emission standards are set at the same level as Annex VI of MARPOL 73/7S {[MO), and regulate levels of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Tier I applies to all commercial propulsion and auxiliary diesel engines with a displacement above 2.5 liters per cylinder. The more stringent Tier 2 standards entered into eifeet on January I, 2004 for marine dicsel engines with a displacement of 0.9 up to 2.5 liters per cylinder. Tier 2 regulates not only NOx. hut also Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Particulate Matter (PM), Engines with a displacement of less than 0.9 liters per cylinder will be required to comply with Tier 2 standards beginning January I, 2005 and engines at or above 215 liters per cylinder will be required to comply with Tier 2 standards beginning January I. 2007. |
