Probably Emissions shut downs. I'd bet they are Scania V8's with all they new bells and whistles to keep them in compliance with the EU stage 5 enviro rules for maritime engines. High NOx levels for any sustained period and they shit themselves and won't run for shit. I bet they all run at Idle but there is no throttle response.
I am now standing by my emissions comment from earlier more so. Bad fuel. Modern diesels need really clean fuel, filtered down to 2 microns which is difficult enough to do but even smaller particles of shit will burn and create emissions that the DOC cannot handle and could contaminate the CAT.
I have a 14 meter air pistol range in my garage. My neighbors come by for competitions… and beer.
Depends on who is flagging it. If it's Dutch I'll bet it doesn't do the bunker oil thing. Some countries are actually putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to the environment. I think most the open sea tankers are flagged Greek (Onassis family owned) but if it is just ferrying from oil rigs then I wouldn't think it is capable. I'm digging right now this is sort of my area of C+ student semi expertise.
Who know what it will be like here in Nevada after this current crop of retards in our legislature and the telemarketer in the Gov's office get through with this session. Fuck. I may be illegal when they get done.
Sorry. You cannot met Teir4f or EU stage 5 with injectors with 100 micron sprayers nor without DOC. Then you cannot run shit fuel through them. That fuel switching crap went out the port hole about 6 or 7 years ago for all of the EU the US and Japan. Other countries still run shit but not the civilized world.
