Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Berhad (MHB) has signed an agreement with Bureau Veritas (BV) Solutions Marine & Offshore (M&O) to support industry-wide efforts to progress shipping’s decarbonisation.
This partnership offers vessel owners and operators vessel improvement opportunities and services. These services are targeted to increase vessel performance, thus enhancing energy efficiency of vessels and contributing to the reduction of their carbon emissions.
The collaboration also offers vessel improvement services and related services for Energy Efficiency eXisting ship Index (EEXI) and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) compliance.
Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE) is the main contractor to provide the modification works on the vessels in its yard in Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia.
BV Solutions M&O will provide technical and consultation services on vessel improvements such as bow modification, vessel lengthening, vessel life extension, hull roughness, propeller modification assessments and other related advisory services.
Paul Shrieve, President of BV Solutions M&O, said:
By working together, we aim not only to raise awareness among our combined customer base … but also to encourage adoption of energy efficiency technologies more widely in the industry as an essential step in shipping’s decarbonisation journey
Earlier this year, MMHE signed a strategic partnership with Silverstream Technologies (UK) Limited for air lubrication system retrofit opportunities for vessel owners and operators.
These strategic collaborations signify MMHE’s initiative in supporting the maritime decarbonisation agenda that will take a significant step forward in January 2023 with the enforcement of the EEXI and CII regulations.
