This $4,784,040 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (CFDA 66.039) National Grants program, provides funding to the Connecticut Maritime Foundation to replace the propulsion engines and auxiliary generators on a single tugboat. Specifically, the foundation will replace the existing unregulated Tier 0 engines with two Tier 4 certified propulsion engines and two Tier 3 certified auxiliary generator sets. The tugboat provides dry bulk barge service between Boston, Providence, New Haven, and two New York ports. The engine replacements are expected to reduce lifetime particulate matter emissions by 38.26 tons and nitrogen oxide emissions by 2,796.9 tons. The Connecticut Maritime Foundation will issue a subaward to Dann Marine Towing, the owner and operator of the vessel, to manage the engine replacement activities. This project aims to improve air quality and reduce health impacts in the surrounding coastal communities.
