Every second year, Europort in Rotterdam brings together the global maritime community to explore the latest innovations in shipbuilding and propulsion. The 2025 edition takes place 4–7 November at Rotterdam Ahoy - and Hug Engineering will once again be there, presenting its advanced marine exhaust aftertreatment systems for the workboat industry.

As a proud member of the Netherlands Maritime Technology (NMT) Association, Hug will exhibit as part of the Dutch Pavilion, continuing a long-standing tradition of collaboration within the European maritime cluster. You can find us at Booth 1111.

Swiss Quality for Cleaner Seas

For over 40 years, Hug Engineering has been a trusted partner in exhaust gas aftertreatment, delivering Swiss Quality to ensure cleaner operations at sea. Our Workboat Business Unit helps shipyards and operators meet IMO Tier III and EU Stage V emission standards while maintaining efficiency, uptime, and low operational costs.

Our solutions - from compact DPF/SCR systems to advanced urea dosing and control units - are engineered for both newbuild and retrofit applications. Built for harsh marine environments, they deliver exceptional performance and reliability across tugs, dredgers, patrol vessels, and ferries.

Key Benefits of Hug Marine Systems

• Flexible Compliance, Smart Savings
  Meet IMO Tier III limits - or go beyond - using our SCR and DPF systems that turn Tier II engines into fully compliant solutions without the cost of a new IMO III engine.

• Compact Modular Design
  Space-optimised layouts and modular construction ensure seamless integration into even the tightest engine rooms, for both newbuilds and retrofits.

• Switchable Operation Mode
  Operate efficiently inside and outside ECAs with systems that can be deactivated when not required - reducing urea consumption and preserving bunker space.

• Built for Future Fuels
  Ready for methanol, LNG, ammonia, and hydrogen engines - supporting shipyards and operators preparing for the energy transition.

• Low Lifecycle Costs & Long Service Intervals
  Catalysts lasting up to 20 000 operating hours, extended maintenance intervals, and easy-access components mean more uptime and lower OPEX.

• Certified and Proven
  Fully approved by leading classification societies (DNV, BV, ABS, LR, RINA) and backed by decades of marine project experience with OEMs like Scania, Cummins, MTU, and ABC.

These systems are backed by Hug’s decades of engineering expertise and proven performance across thousands of projects worldwide. For a deeper insight, explore our related article:
