Germany’s Waterways and Shipping Authority reported the salvage of the Verity, a North Sea cargo ship, was completed nearly a year after the vessel was lost in a collision.
The MV Canopée, the world’s first hybrid propulsion commercial cargo vessel, made its inaugural U.S. visit to Port Canaveral, delivering a crucial component for NASA’s upcoming Artemis III mission to the moon.
India has officially joined the Global Ocean Treaty, also known as the Agreement on Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ).
In admitting its frustration with the shipping’s slow green path, Germany’s Oldendorff Carriers has announced it is setting up a research centre for maritime sustainability with the University of Strathclyde in the centre of Glasgow.
The second of seven vessels in the new fleet of next-generation Parramatta Class ferries designed by Incat Crowther has arrived in Sydney, Australia, and is now in service.
ClassNK has issued the world’s first approval in principle (AiP) for the building of an LNG carrier installed with Wind-Assisted Propulsion System.
The “Star Princess”, a liquified natural gas (LNG) cruise ship, was officially launched at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone.
ClassNK releases updated Guidelines for Liquefied Hydrogen Carriers
ClassNK has released its Guidelines for Liquefied Hydrogen Carriers (Edition 3.0), which covers essential details to examine the safety of carriers to spur related technological developments.
To construct a supply chain for hydrogen, which is expected to be a clean energy source in a decarbonized society, the development of liquefied hydrogen carriers that enable large- scale and efficient transportation is progressing actively.
IMO has worked on establishing safety requirements for liquefied hydrogen carriers that must keep cargo at an extremely low temperature of minus 253 degrees celsius, and Interim Recommendations for Carriage of Liquefied Hydrogen in Bulk was adopted in 2016. Subsequent development of liquefied hydrogen carriers led to the construction project of a larger-scale liquefied hydrogen carrier with cargo containment systems of different designs from a prototype liquefied hydrogen carrier. In response to this, at the IMO, discussions for the revision of the interim recommendations have been underway since 2021 and ClassNK has been contributing to these discussions as an expert on the conventions and regulations.
The authorities in the Canary Islands responded after the pilot working an arriving containership reported that the captain of the vessel appeared to be intoxicated.
In light of the revised interim recommendations being adopted, ClassNK updated the guidelines as edition 3.0, reflecting the changes in the interim recommendations and the knowledge gained through related projects. In this update, new safety requirements for cargo containment systems with different designs from an existing prototype liquefied hydrogen carrier were added, and the guidelines’ structure was reformed in anticipation of a future expansion of the applicable scope. Furthermore, to clarify the selection criteria for metallic materials suitable for liquid hydrogen carriers, an annex of guidance for the selection of metallic materials for hydrogen equipment was also newly implemented.
IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas has proudly achieved its 8th consecutive year of 5 Gold Anchor status.
Class NK says it’s believed the safety of liquid hydrogen carriers is adequately ensured through compliance with each safety requirement and implementation of safety measures based on risk assessment, in accordance with the provisions of the guidelines.
