LASHING WW notation Bureau Veritas has launched a voluntary notation for containerships which will allow more flexible container stowage depending on the ship's loading condition.The notation, LASHING WW, is based on ships being fitted with an approved lashing computer, which will allow computation of container stack weights and required lashing using acceleration levels corresponding to the ship's loading condition and worldwide area of operationJean-Francois Segretain, Marine Technical Director, Bureau Veritas, Marine and Offshore division, says, "Current lashing and stowage rules for deck containers rely on defined transverse accelerations which are not really accurate for large modern vessels along their whole length. Our research and data from real ships in service shows that accelerations in the midships section of container vessels are always closely correlated with the natural roll period of the ship and could often be much less than those set down in the present rules for lashing calculations."Using the right software fitted on board, and taking into account the ship's area of operation (worldwide or mainly in North Atlantic or North Pacific area) and loading condition, the appropriate accelerations can be used to optimise the loading plan or lashing or to allow heavier containers to be stowed higher in ...

Leading international classification society Bureau Veritas is classing the world's largest bilobe gas tanks. They are nearing completion at China's Sinopacific yard and will be installed in a series of four 27,500 cu m semi-refrigerated LNG/Ethylene carriers building for Denmark's Evergas.

Bureau Veritas (BV) is the first Classification Society to approve on an "Approval in Principle" basis a new Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based performance prediction methodology developed by Robert Allan Ltd. as the basis for granting the service notation escort tug.

Bureau Veritas is boosting innovation and sustainability in partnership with Dutch owners, builders and designers. This year specialist Dutch gas carrier operator Antony Veder took delivery of the world's first directly driven dual-fuel LNG carrier, the Coral Energy, from Papenburg-based Meyer Werft in January 2013.
