Marine metals specialists since 1969.Lafayette New Orleans The C175-16 from Caterpillar is the Þ rst Cat engine with core ACERT Technology, designed and built from the ground up, according to Robert Hallengren, Marine Products Director, Caterpillar Marine Power Systems. Offering maximum performance along with EPA Marine Tier 3 and IMO Tier II emissions compliance with no after treatment, it is positioned to comply with EPA Tier 4 and IMO Tier III rules. Introduced in October, the engine has already been in use in the mining, trucking and stationary power industries. Now, CAT is packaging it for positioning it for the marine and offshore oil and gas applications. The C175-16 is positioned as a fully integrated marine power system, and comes with a standard warranty on all factory packaged components. Available today in the 2001 to 2168 bkW power range, starting in early 2013 it will be offered in the 2239 to 2550 bkW range. With unrestricted continuous and heavy-duty ratings, the engine provides (13%) more power, room for growth, and maximizes productivity, while minimizing cost of ownership. The C175-16 is simply one plank in the Cat platform to broadly expand its strategic focus on maritime assets and their power needs, according to Nigel Parkinson, Managing Director, Caterpillar Marine Power Systems. ÒWe are investing twice as much in R&D as we were 3 years ago, to help Þ ll some of the product gaps,Ó he said.
