A marine engine and aftertreatment system designed and developed inhouse by Damen Sustainable Solutions has been awarded EU stage V certification.
The Damen D16 features low fuel consumption, SOX, NOX, CO2 and noise reduction all in one unit with a flexible layout that provides reliable power. The engine, based on the Volvo Penta D16 IMO II, can also operate on biomass based HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) which offers even greater reductions on CO2 emissions.
André de Bie, Sales & Operations Manager Sustainable Solutions at Damen, said, “Rigorous and extensive testing of the engine in cooperation with the Damen marine emission reduction system was carried out by the team. The EU stage V certification award was a welcome reward and one we are very proud of at Damen. It allows us to offer our customers greater efficiency and flexibility whatever the future brings, on every water of the world.”
The EU stage V engine certification process was completed together with Volvo Penta dealer Haisma in Harlingen, the Netherlands. The certification is valid for the engine family Volvo Penta D16 MH and certified for a wide range of IWA and IWP categories.
Damen can now offer its clients a proven emission reduction system that meets the requirements of the EU Stage V, ULEV and IMO Tier III regulations and is certified with HVO100, EN590, ISO8217 – DMA fuel.
