A new analysis document from ABS, 'Retrofits for Energy and Emissions Improvements', provides critical insights into the impact of retrofitting, including classification and statutory requirements, as well as best practices for implementation. The report builds upon...
DNV has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HD Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) and HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) which focuses on developing standards for testing electric powered vessels through the use of digital twin-based criteria...
HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE) has received ABS approval in principle (AiP) for a tank design that enables large-scale hydrogen transport and storage. The vacuum insulation system from HD KSOE is designed to reduce the time required to...
DNV has issued a reminder that, as many ships are now equipped with power limitation solutions to comply with EEXI regulations, documentation of the applied limitation measure is crucial from a statutory perspective and from a technical and safety standpoint. The...
Korea Shipbuilding says that it is striving to develop eco-friendly ship technology in line with the global decarbonisation trend, and recently obtained a conceptual design certification (AiP) for an ammonia dual-fuel propulsion Suezmax-class crude oil carrier from...
Strong global growth of LNG and in the orders for vessels needed to carry it, as well as key regulatory changes and critical technologies for the energy transition led the discussion at a recent meeting of the ABS Maritime Committee in Qatar. Industry leaders from...
According to classification society DNV. international requirements on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are currently high in focus of Port State Control (PSC). The EIAPP certification of engines and the maintenance of records have resulted in several PSC detentions....
Classification society ABS has awarded Hanwha Ocean Approval in Principle (AiP) for its Pre-FEED standard FPSO Design intended to create an asset optimised for deployment in the deep waters of West Africa. The FPSO design is 340m long and capable of storing...
Classification society DNV has released a competence standard (ST) for methanol and a recommended practice (RP) for ammonia, to enable crew and shipowners to tackle the safety risks and challenges posed by the introduction of new alternative fuels and technologies...
According to Lloyd's Register (LR), data-driven insight and technology will play an increasing role in emissions-compliant sailings but investment in these tools and equipment must be distributed across stakeholders. A recent LR event in Greece was told that shipping...
Lloyd's Register (LR) has granted an Approval in Principle (AiP) for GTT's new 200,000 m³ LNG carrier (LNGC) concept, featuring slow-steaming navigation and three tanks instead of the traditional four, and which LR says paves the way for more sustainable LNG shipping...
The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) has published the latest edition of Unified Requirement (UR) M10, which introduces new safety requirements to protect internal combustion engines from crankcase explosions, in response to the shift...
In light of the evolving regulatory landscape for ammonia as a maritime fuel, and the recent finalisation of the IMO’s draft interim guidelines on ammonia, the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) is withdrawing its Unified Requirement UR H1,...
