Damen Shipyards has announced that its recently introduced engine combined with a Damen marine emission reduction system has been awarded EU stage V certification.

The Damen D16 marine engine and aftertreatment system, designed internally by Damen Sustainable Solutions, has been developed to reduce emissions and increase power efficiency. The engine is suitable for a range of vessels including tugs, workboats, high-speed craft, and barges and is available for new vessels and retrofits.

The engine is based on the Volvo Penta D16 IMO II. It is fuel-efficient, has SOx, NOx, CO2 reduction systems, and can operate on hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO), providing further emission reductions.

The EU Stage V engine certification process was completed together with Volvo Penta dealer Haisma in Harlingen, Netherlands. In a statement, Damen said that it can now offer clients a proven emission reduction system that meets the requirements of the EU Stage V, ultra-low emission vessel (ULEV) and IMO Tier III regulations and is certified with HVO100, EN590, ISO8217 – DMA fuel.

Damen Sales & Operations manager, Sustainable Solutions, commented: “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.”
