The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized its new rule for Category 3 marine engines—engines with per-cylinder displacement at or above 30 liters. By 2030, the domestic and international strategy is expected to reduce annual emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) from large marine diesel engines by about 1.2
