Abstract
Warning about global warming and the noxious effects of pollution, international institutions already settled drastic reductions in emissions that endanger the atmosphere. These challenges apply as much to the inland navigation industry and the coastal fleet as the ocean ships. Shipping companies are implementing new technologies to go toward the environmental goals. There is obviously a large panel of solutions. None of the solutions is a panacea and the stakeholders must make their choice depending on the type of vessel and the constraints of the area of operation, considering the related regulations to come, if not already in force. As a leading classification society, Bureau Veritas is committed to developing new rules and guidelines to keep shipping safe as it develops these innovative new green projects.
Highlights
As international institutions continue to warn about global warming and the noxious effects of pollution, the shipping industry is doing its part by developing new technologies that use green energy
Additional BV’s class notations “Cleanship” – for seagoing ship - or "Cleanvessel” – for inland navigation vessel may be assigned when the Rules requirements for the prevention of pollution by oil, noxious liquid substances in bulk, harmful substances carried in packed form, sewage, garbage and gas emissions, are met
As each shipping segment is urged to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) and to opt for green energy, there is need for the appropriate regulations to deal with the new risks generated by alternative fuels and the related new technology
Summary
As international institutions continue to warn about global warming and the noxious effects of pollution, the shipping industry is doing its part by developing new technologies that use green energy. Shipping faces several environmental challenges: the elimination of harmful substances in extinguishing and refrigerating media and anti-fouling paints; the correct disposal of garbage, liquid and ballast products together with appropriate onshore collection; and, the development of a new generation of engines in order to reduce pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. These challenges apply as much to the inland navigation industry as the deep-sea fleet. As a leading classification society, Bureau Veritas is committed to developing new rules and guidelines to keep shipping safe as it develops these innovative new green projects. Transportation is one of the major pillars and shipping is watched closely
