Proven Retrofit Solutions for IMO Compliance and Fleet Efficiency
Real-World Applications. Measurable Results. Practical Implementation.
CET Marine helps vessel owners reduce NOx emissions, improve environmental performance, and support compliance with evolving IMO regulations through proven Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology.
Our case studies demonstrate how EGR can be successfully applied across different vessel segments—from ferries and cruise ships to container vessels—delivering substantial emissions reductions while minimizing installation costs, downtime, and operational complexity.
Whether your objective is Tier III compliance, improved CII performance, lower operating costs, or extending the commercial life of existing assets, these reference projects provide insight into practical retrofit pathways.

Roll-On/Roll-Off Ferry
78% NOx Reduction + Fuel Saving Potential
A retrofit installation on Sulzer 8L ZA40S main engines demonstrating significant NOx reduction while maintaining operational reliability and improving fuel efficiency through the Fuel Saving Option.
Key Results
- Approx. 78% NOx reduction
- IMO Tier 0+ to Tier II performance
- Approx. 11% fuel savings with FSO
- Improved environmental performance in coastal operations

Cruise Vessel Retrofit
IMO Tier III Compliance Through Retrofit
A successful EGR installation on four Wärtsilä 12V32E main engines, demonstrating how existing vessels can achieve Tier III NOx compliance without engine replacement.
Key Results
