Hong Kong Shipowner Again Achieves CSI Verification
Hong Kong's Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) says it has once again attained certification on the integrity and disclosure of its 2012 environmental data by adopting Clean Shipping Index (CSI) verification standards. OOCL was accredited the Verification Certification after an audit conducted by DNV GL by using an internationally recognized and accepted verification guideline to check OOCL vessels on a wide variety of scoring parameters, including emissions of carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, wastes handling, chemicals usage, and wastewater control.
DNV-led JIP Proves Feasible
Attractive payback periods from the additional investments required for LNG fuelled shipping, along with no significant legal restrictions hindering development of LNG bunkering in Australia. This is the conclusion of a Joint Industry Project (JIP) focusing on LNG fuelled tugs and OSVs, managed by DNV with nine partners in Australia. The use of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) as a fuel for ships is seen as one of the options to address the future environmental and commercial challenges in the shipping industry. With proper combinations of bunkering solutions such as tank trucks, permanent tanks and barges in the different ports, efficient LNG bunkering can be established.
