DNV - Maritime

DNV is proud to become the latest classification society to join NEMO- Nuclear Energy Maritime Organization. The London-based association, which was formed in early 2024, is focused on advancing the integration of nuclear technology into the maritime sector. DNV’s decision to join the body follows on from the completion of various research projects and studies into the viability of nuclear power in the industry, and we look forward to collaborating with NEMO’s members to address the challenges associated with its wider implementation.

The Höegh Aurora has marked yet another milestone having made its first port call in Hamburg. As the first pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) to receive DNV’s ammonia-ready and methanol-ready notations, the vessel is a pioneer in the sector’s decarbonization push. The ship is the first in Höegh Autoliners’ Aurora-class and, alongside its sister vessels, will reduce carbon emissions by 58% per transported car compared to the current industry average.

Dalian Shipbuilding Industry (DSIC) has delivered the first of eight DNV-classed 16,000 TEU dual-fuel containerships to Switzerland’s MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). The vessel, the MSC Maria Cristina, has been fitted with a 13,000 cbm type B liquefied natural gas fuel tank, said to be the biggest of its kind in the world. The series of vessels also boasts a new design concept centered on ‘safety, economy, and environmental responsibility’ and an engine constructed with green technologies to meet global emissions standards.

DNV was very pleased to be part of the 8th Annual International Shipping Forum Pudong in Shanghai, China, hosted by Capital Link and The Export-Import Bank of China on the 21st of October 2024. Keng Chen, DNV VP & Area Manager for China South, moderated the session of optimizing ship performance. The group discussed recent innovations in energy-saving technologies, how to reduce fuel consumption, key indicators in assessing ship performance, and the most significant changes needed in the industry to achieve better ship performance. Mr Chen commented, “It was a great pleasure sit down with these impressive panelists. We had stakeholders from across the whole value chain all sharing their perspectives and learnings on the multi-dimensional question of how we can maximize performance and efficiency as the maritime industry moves through the energy transition.” #maritime #Shanghai

Odfjell SE and bound4blue have achieved a technical milestone in their tanker eSAIL project, completing retrofitting work on the DNV-classed Bow Olympus vessel ahead of full sail installation next year. The progress made on the upgrades to the ship, which are scheduled to be completed in January 2025, demonstrates the technical feasibility and high potential of wind propulsion in the tanker segment. Congratulations to all those involved in the project, we look forward to seeing how it unfolds over the coming months. Read more in Bunkerspot: https://dnv.social/5Rg #maritime #wind #tanker

Where is the IMO’s work on reductions of greenhouse gas emissions from ships heading? Find out now: https://dnv.social/5Ra In the first episode of the eighth series of the Maritime Impact podcast, host Eirik Nyhus, Director of Environment for Maritime at DNV, provides crucial updates from the IMO’s MEPC 82 and what the industry can expect as new regulations take shape. Eirik provides an in-depth commentary of the discussions from MEPC 82, including potential technical and economic frameworks that aim to regulate GHG intensity and introduce carbon pricing. The episode analyzes the current negotiating positions before the crucial meetings in April 2025 at which the new regulations shall be decided. Listen now to get a better understanding of the different positions and how the future framework could look like. https://dnv.social/5Ra Also available on Apple https://dnv.social/5Rc and Spotify https://dnv.social/5Rb. #maritimeimpact #IMO #MEPC

We are really looking forward to taking part in the Interferry Conference in Marrakech from 26-30 October. Our experts will be on hand to discuss the key issues shaping the future of the ferry industry, particularly in the areas of decarbonisation, digitalisation, and regulatory compliance. On Tuesday 29 October, make sure to check out Session 14 "Safety Spotlight: Batteries and Alternative Fuels", where DNV's Sverre B.O. Eriksen is presenting. Sverre will look at battery propulsion, focusing on rule development and lessons learned from incidents. Be sure to register, meet our team, and stay up to date with everything happening in the ferry segment. https://lnkd.in/gqnsUcWs #DNV #maritime #Interferry2024

Ohmium has formed an agreement with SwitcH2 BV to supply proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer solutions for the offshore floating green hydrogen and ammonia synthesis project, OFFSET. The initiative aims to develop an industrial scale production facility and is expected to have an annual capacity of up to 55,000 tons of green hydrogen and almost 300 ktons of green ammonia when it commences production. The floating ammonia production unit, which is expected to begin operation in 2029, received an approval in principle from DNV earlier this year.

#StaySafe in confined spaces Confined spaces can pose significant safety risks, especially in the maritime industry. According to statistics from InterManager 310 people have lost their lives in confined space accidents on vessels since 1996. In 2023 alone, there were 31 fatalities. In our second episode of our new series #StaySafe, our surveyor Walkiria Escobar stresses this critical safety issue and what to be aware of to avoid injuries and losses. Watch now and stay safe! #DNVsurveyor #safety #confinedspaces
