Bureau Veritas, the Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute (SDARI) and NAPA have completed the first phase of a Joint Development Project (JDP) to enable 3D model-based approvals for the classification of ships.
In the future, based on the studies carried out, NYK will establish a system to collect and aggregate Scope 3 emissions data while continuing to utilize the existing aggregation system.
The agreement will cover projects for electric vessels, shore charging infrastructure along with related industry standards and marine classification requirements.
Through this cooperation, several companies and organisations will come together to discuss and study safety issues during ammonia bunkering of a container carrier that uses ammonia as a bunker fuel.
The project aims to enhance the design process of independent LNG fuel tanks and accelerate the development of new solutions for the structural assessment of those systems.
