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,...

LR releases airborne noise notation for vessels in ports

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...
