ClassNK has released the "Guidelines for Ships Using Alternative Fuels," which sets forth safety requirements for ships fueled by methanol, ethanol, LPG, and ammonia.

Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) have been granted Approval in Principle (AiP) from the Japanese classification society ClassNK for joint development of CO2 transport technology for liquefied CO2 (LCO2) carriers.

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha ("K" Line) announced that its two conceptual designs for LNG-fuelled and battery-powered bulk carriers have received Approvals in Principle (AiPs) from ClassNK.

ClassNK released “Guidelines for Advanced Safety Measures”, “Guidelines for Excellent Living and Working Environment”, and “Guidelines for Installations for Infection Control”.

Classification Society ClassNK issued an Approval in Principle (AiP) for a large liquefied hydrogen carrier developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

ClassNK has released "ClassNK ZETA (Zero Emission Transition Accelerator)", a GHG emissions management tool to track accurate CO2 emissions and confirm and simulate CII ratings.

NAPA will work with ClassNK and Japanese general trading company Marubeni to assess what fuel and carbon emission savings could be achieved through voyage optimization.

NYK and its group companies MTI and Japan Maritime Science have received approval in principle (AiP) for a fully autonomous ship framework that is currently being developed under the name of "APExS-auto."

NAPA and ClassNK have strengthened their partnership to support the use of 3D models in the ship design approval process. By streamlining data sharing between design and class approval software, this move brings 3D model-based approval one step closer to reality.

ClassNK announced that it will calculate the CO2 emissions from ships financed under the Sustainability-Linked Loan provided by ORIX.
