Since the beginning of 2020, the sulfur content in fuel oil has been limited to 0.5% or less in all sea areas in order to reduce the volume of sulfur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter (PM) in exhaust gas emitted from ships.
Japan Engine Corporation and Onomichi Dockyard Co., Ltd. developed the state-of-the-art engine "UEC-LSJ" that can operate exclusively on Marine Gas Oil (MGO) or Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) with the support of the Nippon Foundation.
This engine complies with SOx and NOx Tier II/Tier III regulations and also contributes to the compliance with the EEDI (CO2) regulations, meeting the three environmental emission requirements of NOx, SOx, and CO2 at the same time.
