Marine industry: regulations and standards

The global shipping industry must comply with programmes intended to reduce emissions from all diesel-propelled ships.

The global maritime industry remains a major contributor to air pollution in many port cities and regions.

For Caterpillar’s marine industry clients, emissions standards are critical for ensuring diesel engines comply with international regulations.


International regulatory organisations, Det Norske Veritas (DNV), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Waterways Forward and International Maritime Organization (IMO) have adopted programmes aiming to reduce emissions from all diesel-propelled ships.
