Baudouin Marine Engines: Global Excellence with Latest EPA Tier 3 Milestone

The company's dedication to designing genuine marine engines—rather than adapting industrial engines—has earned Baudouin its reputation for exceptional reliability and performance across diverse maritime applications. From the Mediterranean shores where the company was founded to the busiest shipping lanes of Asia and the Americas, Baudouin engines power vessels of all sizes, combining French engineering excellence with global manufacturing standards.

In a significant achievement for its international environmental compliance efforts, Baudouin has secured EPA Tier 3 Recreational and commercial Certification for the 6F21 engine, demonstrating the company's commitment to meeting stringent emissions standards while maintaining superior performance characteristics that maritime operators demand.

The 6F21 engine exemplifies the innovative F21 range, renowned for its purpose-built marine design philosophy. The F21 range features genuine marine architecture from conception to production, resulting in exceptional power density  of 1000 HP for a 12,5 litre engine, durability in harsh saltwater environments, and optimal performance under varying load conditions. The range's remarkable compactness makes these engines ideal for installations where space is limited but power requirements remain substantial, allowing vessel designers greater flexibility without compromising operational capabilities.

Baudouin's comprehensive product portfolio extends beyond the F21 range to include engines for every maritime need—from compact high-speed engines for pleasure craft to pilot and rescue boats, passenger and crew vessels.This versatility, combined with the company's focus on low emissions, fuel efficiency, and reduced operational costs, positions Baudouin as a preferred partner for shipbuilders and fleet operators seeking to balance performance with sustainability.

"At Baudouin, our global approach to marine propulsion is built on understanding the unique challenges faced by maritime operators in different regions," says Mehdi Kebaili, Marine Sales Director. "Whether navigating the cold waters of the North Sea or the tropical climates of Southeast Asia, our engines deliver consistent performance and reliability while meeting increasingly stringent environmental requirements."

The company's forward-thinking research and development program continues to drive innovation in marine propulsion technology, focusing on alternative fuels and hybrid systems that will shape the future of maritime transportation. With its century-long heritage and global perspective, Baudouin remains committed to powering the world's waterways with solutions that balance operational excellence with environmental responsibility.
