New developments from Jiangnan Shipyard gain ABS AIPs

ABS has awarded approval in principle (AIP) to two new developments from Jiangnan Shipyard, Shanghai: a new insulation system and a design for an ultra large ethane carrier (ULEC).

The ULEC design is the first equipped with the next-generation BrilliancE II Type-B cargo containment system, a modern cryogenic liquefied gas containment system designed to optimize ship performance. The second AIP was awarded for Jiangnan’s patented insulation system, PnFCOMBi, which can be used for type B tank...

New ABS CLP-V(PARR) notation allows box ship operators to load more containers on deck

ABS has published a new notation that enables containership operators to load an additional tier of containers on deck with reduced risk of loss due to parametric rolling. Called
CLP-V(PARR), it combines the ABS Computer Lashing Program notation with mandatory parametric roll guidance to allow operators to optimize stowage and lashing of containers without loss of safety margin.

“Optimizing container loading is key to efficient vessel operations but also has a foundational impact on safety,...
