One of the first new vessels to comply with the stringent EU emission requirements for inland waterways vessels was delivered in the Netherlands from the Scheepswerf Hoebee yard in September 2006. http://www.scheepswerfhoebee.nl

The M/V Kraanvogel, owned by Mr. M. Heuvelman, is an 86-meter self-propelled crane barge. Main engines are a pair of six-cylinder IMO and EU emission compliant Cummins QSK19 M diesels each delivering 750 horsepower at 1800 RPM. This is the heavy duty rating for these engines that are also available with a continuous duty rating of 660 hp at 1800 RPM.
