Custom Marine Vessel Construction Solutions & Support

At Laborde Products, we specialize in supplying reliable, high-performance engines for new construction vessels. From engines to generators, gears, and panels, we provide the equipment you need to make your new build a success. Whether you’re working with Tier 3 or Tier 4 compliant engines, we ensure you have the right engine solution tailored to your project’s needs.

Tier 3 and Tier 4 Compliant Engines: What You Need to Know

Choosing the right engine for your vessel means understanding how emissions regulations impact your build. Here’s a simplified breakdown of how EPA standards apply:

  • Tier 3 (Up to 804 HP): Perfect for smaller vessels, Tier 3 engines are designed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, making them ideal for workboats and other vessels where power demands are moderate. They balance performance and environmental responsibility, meeting EPA requirements for NOx emissions while providing optimal power output.
  • Tier 4 (Above 804 HP): For larger vessels requiring higher power, Tier 4 engines come with advanced emissions control technologies, ensuring compliance with the most stringent standards for NOx and particulate matter (PM). These engines use SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filters) for cleaner emissions, making them an ideal choice for larger commercial vessels and projects that demand both power and eco-friendliness.
