Automobiles are complying to stricter emission standards since 1990s. Now automobiles are getting ready to meet the latest EURO V and EURO VI limits for road transport in 2009 and 2010.
Now inland water transports are also getting ready to meet these emission standards.
Motor tank vessel ‘Victoria’ is the world’s cleanest ship with low-emissions, high fuel efficiency and environment friendly. The barge is chartered by BP Marine Lubricants on long term basis and is operating in the Port of Rotterdam and Antwerp areas.
The emission reduction techniques used in the vessel are
- Tempomaat: Advising Tempomaat (ATM)
- Clean fuel: low sulphur fuel
- Catalyser: Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
- PM filter: particulate matter filters.

Cool post, reminds me of the world’s un-cleanest ship. New York City’s sewage tanker! (actually it is suppose to be very cleen).
John,
It is high time for all inland water crafts to meet the global emission standards of automobiles like mv victoria.
You’re right there! Some of the fixes are easy one too and, if deployed on a large scale, could make a significant difference.
