Northern Lights, a leading manufacturer of marine generator sets, and Swiss-based HUG Engineering AG, a company specializing in exhaust gas purification systems and reduction of emissions, established a new partnership to provide complete, IMO III certified clean air power generation solutions.
This new partnership will allow customers to purchase Northern Lights’ line of marine generator sets and HUG’s selective catalytic NOx reduction (SCR) systems or particle filter (DPF) systems as one completely integrated solution, which is fully IMO III Certified and meets the stringent performance and packaging requirements of the maritime industry. Ideal for the superyacht market, the SCR / DPF is available for Northern Lights units above 115kWe installed on vessels over 500 gross register tonnage.
Northern Lights Vice President and General Manager Brian Vesely commented “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the ability for NLI and HUG to offer off-the-shelf solutions for these new IMO III requirements, which gives customers an advantage when building or refitting a vessel under these new standards”
Representatives from Northern Lights and HUG Engineering are attending the Monaco Yacht Show, at stands QAA29 and QH13, to discuss their newly-established partnership.
