General problem: A diesel engine does not have a specific power. Which means that an engine certificate without a physical limitation has no value.

Progress made so far:

Suggestions for “300 hp vessels”• list of accepted engines• maximum cylinder volume• black box system• application Article 29, par. 2c of EU regulation 850/98 (300 kW limit and 75% rule)
