GE Transportation to Showcase Emissions-Reducing Marine Engine at 2018 International WorkBoat Show
GE’s Marine Solutions diesel engine reduces key emissions by 70 percent without compromising fuel
efficiency
(NYSE:GE) – GE Transportation announced today that it will showcase its industry leading, emissions-reducing marine solutions at
the 2018
International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans. Among the solutions on display will be GE Transportation’s Marine L250/V250 series
diesel engines, which reduce key emissions by more than 70 percent without compromising fuel efficiency or causing more
maintenance.
“We are incredibly proud of our breakthrough technology, which is already transforming the marine industry by delivering high
performance and lower emissions,” said Tammy Gromacki, general manager of GE Transportation’s global marine business. “Our marine
engines are helping solve our customers’ biggest challenges by reliably powering marine equipment in challenging environments. We
strive to make our customers’ operations more reliable and efficient, and these new engines do both.”
The engines meet the most stringent emissions requirements, including IMO Tier III and the U.S. EPA Tier IV standards.
Additionally, eliminating the use of urea-based selective catalytic reduction aftertreatment saves customers up to 75 percent of
cargo and tank space. It also makes the engine less complex to install and operate by eliminating the time, hassle and cost
associated with handling urea and maintaining hardware.
The industry is already responding positively to the advanced technology. Earlier in 2018, GE Transportation signed an
agreement with Danish channel partner, VMS Group, to provide two 8L250MDC and two 12V250MDC marine engines, tools and spare
parts for the world’s foremost expedition ship. The engine is also being used by
Harley Marine Services on the
Earl W. Redd, enabling the vessel to become the first EPA Tier IV-compliant tractor tugboat.
