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,...
Newport, R.I., based Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. (Nasdaq: PANL) reports that its 95,000 dwt. post-panamax dry bulk carrier Nordic Nuluujaak has been awarded the Silent (E) class notation by, making it the first dry bulk carrier to ever receive the certification. The Silent (E) Notation is a select designation given to vessels with a demonstrated ability to effectively reduce environmental noise emissions, consistent with a focus on protecting sensitive marine ecosystems.

Korean Register (KR) introduces a new class notations for container securing devices to enhance safety by preventing container losses even in unexpected harsh weather conditions, says an article published in ShipInsight.
Several safety measures are required to operate a container ship, and among them, securely locking loaded containers is one of the most important factors in preventing container loss accidents.
Introduced new class notations
In this context, KR has...

Bureau Veritas launches two new notations for cyber resilience, in light of the rapidly increasing digitalization and the dangers it behind it. The new technology, that is now shaping a new era for the shipping industry, has in the past caused major dysfunctions in shipping companies and vessels’ operations.
In the past, SAFETY4SEA focused on 2018’s major cyber attacks and their impact in the industry, as for example Cosco’s cyber attack that shocked the maritime sector.
To protect shipowners and...

Lloyd’s Register (LR) has released a new airborne noise emission notation (ABN) and ShipRight procedure to address increasing demand for a standard and methodology to control airborne noise emissions from ships.
The new notation establishes a set of limit levels for airborne noise emission from ships, in order to better monitor overall noise levels from ship calls. It also helps ports determine which and how many vessels can access the most noise sensitive areas of the port. It will also enable...
