of 15 metres, and all-weather capability. Buran is the second pilot boat in a series to be ordered by Poseidon Sea Pilots from the same builder. The first boat, Timbin, was delivered in late 2021.
COATINGS MANUFACTURER HEMPEL LAUNCHES NEW CO2 REDUCTION TARGETS
By focusing on sustainability, organic growth and strategic acquisitions, Hempel grew its revenue to €1.8 billion in 2021. “Putting sustainability at the heart of how we do business is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do. To win key customers, we must deliver solutions and develop partnerships that answer to their sustainability challenges”, said Lars Petersson, Group President & CEO of Hempel.
In February 2021, the company introduced Futureproof, a comprehensive framework and guide for embedding sustainability throughout the Hempel business. Futureproof lays out measurable Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) goals, including CO2 reduction targets.
In November 2021, Hempel submitted its CO2 reduction targets, in line with a 1.5°C pathway, to be independently verified by the Science Based Targets initiative and expects validation in 2022. One such example is its new strategic partnership with GRI Renewable Industries, which will see it drive sustainability and cost improvements in wind tower production.
The company also saw increased demand for its more sustainable products last year, including its advanced hull coatings. In 2021, Hempel’s hull coatings helped marine customers reduce CO2 emissions by 4.5 million tonnes, up from 3.6 million tonnes in 2020.
ABS AUTONOMOUS VESSELS WHITEPAPER PROPOSES A GOAL-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR FUTURE RULES TO ENABLE AUTONOMOUS VESSEL OPERATIONS
The ABS Autonomous Vessels whitepaper is designed to support the industry’s increasing adoption of autonomous capabilities with a focus on safe implementation. It sets out 10 goals to create a framework for the design and operation of autonomous vessels and addresses key issues in implementation.
The ABS Autonomous Vessels whitepaper also includes an update on the outcome of the IMO’s Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) Regulatory Scoping Exercise, an important step on the road toward the development of requirements governing autonomous operations.
“To allow operations of fully autonomous vessels, the maritime industry requires regulations for their design. While this is an ongoing endeavor at the IMO, ABS is well placed to propose our own framework to support both safe innovation and adoption of autonomous technologies,” said Patrick Ryan, ABS Senior Vice President, Global Engineering and Technology. “We are able to do this thanks to our industry-leading work with key players on cutting edge remote-control and autonomy projects all over the world. This extensive experience underpins the approach and the framework outlined in this whitepaper.”
