Power produced at the flywheel will be within standard
tolerances up to 50°C (122°F) combustion air temperature
measured at the air cleaner inlet, and fuel temperature
up to 52°C (125°F) measured at the fuel filter base.

RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS
A Rating (Unrestricted Continuous)
Typical applications: For vessels operating at
rated load and rated speed up to 100% of the time
without interruption or load cycling (80% to 100%
load factor). Typical applications could include but
are not limited to vessels such as freighters,
tugboats, bottom drag trawlers, or deep river
tugboats. Typical operation ranges from 5000 to
8000 hours per year.
Power at declared engine speed is in accordance
with ISO3046-1:2002E. Caterpillar maintains
ISO9001:1994/QS-9000 approved engine test
facilities to assure accurate calibration of test
equipment. Electronically controlled engines are set
at the factory at the advertised power corrected to
standard ambient conditions. The published fuel
consumption rates are in accordance with ISO3046.
Fuel rates are based on fuel oil of 35° API [16°C
(60°F)] gravity having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg
(18,390 Btu/lb) when used at 29°C (85°F) and
weighing 838.9 g/L (7.001 lb/U.S. gal). Additional
ratings may be available for specific customer
requirements. Consult your Caterpillar
representative for additional information.

RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS
A Rating (Unrestricted Continuous)
Typical applications: For vessels operating at
rated load and rated speed up to 100% of the time
without interruption or load cycling (80% to 100%
load factor). Typical applications could include but
are not limited to vessels such as freighters,
tugboats, bottom drag trawlers, or deep river
tugboats. Typical operation ranges from 5000 to
8000 hours per year.
Power at declared engine speed is in accordance
with ISO3046-1:2002E. Caterpillar maintains
ISO9001:1994/QS-9000 approved engine test
facilities to assure accurate calibration of test
equipment. Electronically controlled engines are set
at the factory at the advertised power corrected to
standard ambient conditions. The published fuel
consumption rates are in accordance with ISO3046.
Fuel rates are based on fuel oil of 35° API [16°C
(60°F)] gravity having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg
(18,390 Btu/lb) when used at 29°C (85°F) and
weighing 838.9 g/L (7.001 lb/U.S. gal). Additional
ratings may be available for specific customer
requirements. Consult your Caterpillar
representative for additional information.

B Rating (Heavy Duty)
Typical applications: For vessels operating at

80% load factor). Typical applications could include
but are not limited to vessels such as mid-water

ferries, or towboats. Typical operation ranges from
3000 to 5000 hours per year.

RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS
A Rating (Unrestricted Continuous)
Typical applications: For vessels operating at
rated load and rated speed up to 100% of the time
without interruption or load cycling (80% to 100%
load factor). Typical applications could include but
are not limited to vessels such as freighters,
tugboats, bottom drag trawlers, or deep river
tugboats. Typical operation ranges from 5000 to
8000 hours per year.
Power at declared engine speed is in accordance
with ISO3046-1:2002E. Caterpillar maintains
ISO9001:1994/QS-9000 approved engine test
facilities to assure accurate calibration of test
equipment. Electronically controlled engines are set
at the factory at the advertised power corrected to
standard ambient conditions. The published fuel
consumption rates are in accordance with ISO3046.
Fuel rates are based on fuel oil of 35° API [16°C
(60°F)] gravity having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg
(18,390 Btu/lb) when used at 29°C (85°F) and
weighing 838.9 g/L (7.001 lb/U.S. gal). Additional
ratings may be available for specific customer
requirements. Consult your Caterpillar
representative for additional information.

RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS
C Rating (Maximum Continuous)
Typical applications: For vessels operating at
rated load and rated speed up to 50% of the time,
or 6 hours out of 12, with cyclical load and speed
(20% to 80% load factor). Typical applications
could include but are not limited to vessels such as
ferries, harbor tugs, fishing boats, offshore service
boats, displacement hull yachts, or short trip
coastal freighters. Typical operation ranges from
2000 to 4000 hours per year.
Power at declared engine speed is in accordance
with ISO3046-1:2002E. Caterpillar maintains
ISO9001:1994/QS-9000 approved engine test
facilities to assure accurate calibration of test
equipment. Electronically controlled engines are set
at the factory at the advertised power corrected to
standard ambient conditions. The published fuel
consumption rates are in accordance with ISO3046.
Fuel rates are based on fuel oil of 35° API [16°C
(60°F)] gravity having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg
(18,390 Btu/lb) when used at 29°C (85°F) and
weighing 838.9 g/L (7.001 lb/U.S. gal). Additional
ratings may be available for specific customer
requirements. Consult your Caterpillar
representative for additional information.

RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS
D Rating (Intermittent Duty)
Typical applications: For vessels operating at
rated load and rated speed up to 16% of the time,
or 2 hours out of 12, (up to 50% load factor).
Typical applications could include but are not
limited to vessels such as offshore patrol boats,
customs boats, police boats, some fishing boats,
fireboats, or harbor tugs. Typical operation ranges
from 1000 to 3000 hours per year.
Power at declared engine speed is in accordance
with ISO3046-1:2002E. Caterpillar maintains
ISO9001:1994/QS-9000 approved engine test
facilities to assure accurate calibration of test
equipment. Electronically controlled engines are set
at the factory at the advertised power corrected to
standard ambient conditions. The published fuel
consumption rates are in accordance with ISO3046.
Fuel rates are based on fuel oil of 35° API [16°C
(60°F)] gravity having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg
(18,390 Btu/lb) when used at 29°C (85°F) and
weighing 838.9 g/L (7.001 lb/U.S. gal). Additional
ratings may be available for specific customer
requirements. Consult your Caterpillar
