ClassNK has entered a collaborative research and development (R&D) agreement with Nihon Shipyard (NSY) and IMC aimed at ensuring the safety and performance evaluation of anti-roll tanks (ART) installed on large container ships.
This is the first-ever marine battery to get this type approval since the ClassNK rules for marine energy storage systems came into effect in January 2023.
ClassNK has granted its Innovation Endorsements for Products & Solutions to two initiatives by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL), "FOCUS" and "Sustainable Seafaring, Wellness Living".
“ACE Function” can automatically create a straight route and implement navigation at the shortest distance, only by setting the ship's current position and the heading of a destination.
The system allows for parallel connection of multiple units and adjustments to the number of hydrogen fuel cell modules, making it adaptable to various ship power output requirements.
ClassNK has issued Approvals in Principle (AiPs) for three vehicle carrier designs developed by Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute (SDARI).
