Miretti USA and a large distributor of diesel engines have created an electrical system for tank barges that complies with Class 1, Division 1 safety standards approved by the US Coast Guard. The Miretti USA tank barge solution can be customized for any brand of diesel engine.

Working collaboratively with sales, applications and product engineering personnel of a strategic partner, Miretti USA delivered a fully certified solution for this application in record time. The comprehensive system is now undergoing the US Coast Guard’s approval process.

Tank barges in the United States are used to transport millions of gallons of refined petroleum products. These chemicals are pumped out of the barge tanks into the storage tanks located in oil refineries and chemical plants. The diesel engines used to operate the pumps are often located in the hazardous areas.

With the achievement of this milestone development, the tank barge industry now has a reliable source to deliver safety solutions for all diesel engines.
