EPA wants large U.S. vessels to comply with Her 2 standards by 2011

摘要

Engine manufacturers are gearing up to comply with an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposal to cut harmful emissions from U.S.-flagged oceangoing vessels within the next two years, part of a wider strategy to tighten pollution rules on all such ships in the nation's coastal waters by 2016.rnThe proposal, announced in July under provisions of the Clean Air Act, would apply to new marine diesel engines with a per-cylinder displacement of 30 liters or more, called Category 3 engines.
