RINA offers a new environmental notation for the development of the Salvage Friendly features of the ship. The ''DORS'' notation (Dedicated Oil Recovery System) has been the fruit of a long process of analysis of the ship life cycle up to the accident risks and linked environmental consequences.

DNV GL has created a new class notation to help shipowners prepare their newbuildings for the installation of a scrubber. SCRUBBER READY ensures that the necessary preparations are in place for a smooth and cost-efficient scrubber retrofit at a later stage.

Lloyd's Register announced that it has established design and construction standards for the use of low-flashpoint fuels (LFPF) with a new notation, coming into effect on 1 January 2016, that provides clarity and helps to ensure technology can be adopted effectively.

 Bureau Veritas has published requirements for LNG Bunkering tankers. The requirements, set out in Rule Note NR 620 LNG Bunkering Ship, cover special arrangements for ships carrying LNG which will transfer that LNG to ships using LNG as fuel.Jean-Francois Segretain, Technical Director, Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore Division, says,“Establishing a secure and safe LNG bunkering chain is the key to a swift uptake of LNG fuel across shipping. We believe that small-scale LNG bunker vessels will play a key role in developing that chain. These rules help ensure safe development of this new type of ships. Of the fifteen or so small-scale LNG ships ordered so far ten are to BV class so we are driving this sector forward.”NR 620 covers the design and installation of the LNG transfer systems from bunkering ship to the receiving ship and the vapour transfer system from the receiving ship to bunkering ship, including LNG hoses, transfer arms and auxiliary systems for handling the LNG system. The design and installation of the equipment intended for boil-off gas management on the bunkering ship and the design and installation of the gas piping system of the bunkering ship are also set out. There is a separate ...
