GE Marine L250 and V250
Series Diesel Engines
EPA Tier 4 / IMO III
No aftertreatment.
No kidding.
A World Leader in Manufacturing
Diesel Engines
For over 40 years, GE Marine has built dependable, longlasting, and fuel-efficient medium-speed diesel engines. Our
engines are found in some of the world’s most challenging
industrial environments including tugboats in Turkey, fishing
vessels in Peru, and ferries and offshore oil and gas support
vessels in Norway. In total, more than 15,000 GE diesel
engines are in service worldwide.
Today’s Environment
The marine industry is facing an ever-increasing demand
for efficiency, reliability, and emissions compliance. 2015
marked the transition of new vessel construction to comply
with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Tier 4
emission standards. Starting January 1, 2016, the IMO Tier III
emission standard will become effective in the NOx Emission
Control Areas (NECA).
Engineered to Exceed
The GE Marine L250 and V250 Series Diesel Engine meets
the EPA’s stringent Tier 4 and IMO’s Tier III emission
standards without the use of selective catalytic reduction
(SCR) equipment and urea-based aftertreatment.
Our diesel engine integrates an upgraded control system,
high-pressure common rail fuel injection, two-stage
turbocharging, and advanced exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
to meet the EPA’s Tier 4 and IMO Tier III emissions.
No Aftertreatment. No Kidding,
Carrying, injecting, and cleaning SCR systems that use urea is time-consuming and costly. Vessels with
SCR systems installed must carry six to eight percent more tank capacity in urea. Our non-SCR/non-urea
based in-engine emission design leaves you with more cargo and accommodation space while reducing
the time spent maintaining hardware saving you money over the life of your vessel.
If you’re looking to repower your existing fleet, our EPA Tier 4/IMO Tier III L250 and V250 Series Diesel
Engine helps make upgrading your vessels easy. Adding SCR reactors, urea tanks, and dosing equipment
to repower a vessel that was not designed to have an SCR system installed, is cumbersome. Seamlessly
update your fleet, meet emission standards, and get back to doing business faster with the help of our
non-urea based engine.
Size Matters
Our EPA Tier 4/IMO Tier III L250 and V250 Series Diesel Engine is a compact solution for customers.
Though the V250 engines have grown only about five percent, the L250 design remains virtually the
same between the EPA Tier 3/IMO Tier II models. In addition, our engines do not require aftertreatment
equipment saving customers up to 75 percent space overall.
Maintenance
Less equipment means less time spent maintaining hardware and servicing technology when there is
a problem. When compared to maintaining an SCR system and its related equipment – dosing system,
monitoring systems, urea injection, and urea tanks –the maintenance time and cost for our EGR
based emission solution is minimal and, depending on duty cycle, the time between overhaul is still an
industry leading 40,000 hours.
With an SCR equipped vessel, owners have a higher operating expense that entails injecting urea and
exchanging catalytic reactors.
The Marine Industry
With the L250 and V250 Series Diesel Engine, GE Marine
delivers industry-leading in-engine technology for
emission compliance to the offshore oil and gas industry.
Powering platform supply vessels (PSVs), offshore support
vessels (OSVs), offshore construction vessels (OCVs), and
inspection maintenance and repair (IMR) vessels allows
customers to see that day-to-day operations are completed
cleanly and efficiently.
Our L250 and V250 Series Diesel Engine powers global
marine markets. Due to NOx taxation, other countries
already drive cleaner engines. Many offshore oil and gas
support vessels built in Norway today are fitted with SCR
systems or are otherwise operating cleaner than IMO Tier II
emissions. With our technology key emissions are reduced
by more than 70 percent and enable in-engine compliance
with EPA Tier 4 and IMO Tier III emissions standards making
it the environmental choice for global customers.
