RINA has been awarded a framework contract by the EMSA to increase the availability of LNG in the medium term with small scale bunkering.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of remote surveys, which, according to RINA, is equivalent in terms of accuracy as traditional surveys.

Finnish technology group Wärtsilä and classification society RINA have announced a new propulsion arrangement aiming to act as a future-proof alternative to traditional ship design.

BIMCO and the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) proposed an alternative method in order to determine an accurate reference speed, in line with with a carbon reduction framework currently under development by the IMO.

The global classification society, RINA along with the Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute (SDARI) shaked hands in order to develop a ship design capable of being fuelled by either ammonia or methanol.

RINA expands its services, opening its Fleet Operating Centre (FOC) in Piraeus, with the aim to manage RINA classed vessels more accurately and efficiently all over the world.

RINA, the ship classification multinational company, and ShipParts, signed a Strategic Cooperation Agreement to enhance the procurement efficiency of the shipping industry.

RINA claims that it has successfully carried out the world first statutory and associated class intermediate surveys with the use of remote technologies on the bulk carrier Cielo di Gaspesie, owned by the d’Amico Group. 

The shipping industry seems to rapidly mobilizing to face the unprecedented challenge of COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry (LISCR) will use RINA’s remote technology for inspections of Liberian flagged vessels and as announced, Shipowner d’Amico will take advantage of this facility in a pilot case on his fleet. It is anticipated that the decision of LISCR could shortly be followed by other Flag Administrations.

The USCG signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) with the European Commission on February 28, 2020, for oversight of mutually recognized organizations for survey and certification of commercial vessels.
