Emission Requirements for Recreational vessels comes into effect January 2021

SCR technology for marine engines is developing rapidly. There are several products on the market from commercial providers available for integration with a marine diesel engine. However, the arrangements and usable accommodation volume in smaller yachts within the 24-35 meter range are slightly impacted. The rule of thumb is that the volume of the SCR is about ½ the volume of the diesel engine and there’s auxiliary equipment which means the net result is a larger engine room. The DLBA team is currently working on clever ways to integrate these new components and develop yacht designs that minimize the holistic impact of new systems.
