DNV has appointed Torgeir Sterri as new Offshore Classification Director for DNV Maritime, with effect from 1 March 2023. Lucas Ribeiro, former Area Manager for Iberia, Italy and Malta, will succeed Sterri as Regional Manager for West Europe.
An industrial scale concept for a floating production unit to produce green ammonia has secured Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV, affirming the technical feasibility of the design. The project is now ready to start the Basic Design phase.
The work to develop Greece’s first Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) commenced recently at the Keppel shipyard in Singapore with the conversion of GasLog’s DNV classed LNGC Gaslog Chelsea, recently renamed as Alexandroupoli. Following conversion, the FSRU Alexandroupoli will serve as an offshore storage and regasification facility and will be part of the Alexandroupolis Independent Natural Gas System (INGS).
DNV and partners have recently launched a new JIP - EMRED. The JIP aims to establish a monitoring and reporting framework for assessing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the offshore wind installation sector. The partners comprise energy companies, ScottishPower Renewables, RWE, Vattenfall, Orsted, and installation/operation companies, Jan De Nul Group, DEME, Ziton, Cadeler, Van Oord, Fred. Olsen Windcarrier, and DNV.

DNV has today unveiled its latest Maritime Forecast to 2050 report with a new focus on how to overcome the “ultimate hurdle” of fuel availability.
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) and DNV have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish energy-saving wind assistance propulsion technology.
Classification society DNV presented Arcadia Shipmanagement Co Ltd. with a certificate recognizing their vessel Aegean Myth as the first vessel globally to have a SEEMP III manual. The Ship Operational Carbon Intensity Plan or SEEMP Part III, is part of IMO’s strategy to reduce shipping’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a verified SEEMP Part III must be kept on board from 1 January 2023.

The use of biofuels or biofuel blends is one of many ways to comply with the IMO’s strategy on the reduction of GHG emissions from ships, and DNV has seen an increasing interest in these new fuels. This technical news aims to clarify the regulatory status and other considerations on the usage of such fuels.
The EU’s legislative bodies have reached an agreement on including shipping in its Emission Trading System (EU ETS). Subject to final adoption, ships above 5000 GT transporting cargo or passengers for commercial purposes in the EU will be required to acquire and surrender emission allowances for their CO2 emissions from 2024. Offshore ships will be included from 2027. This statutory news summarizes the current information on EU ETS.
New statutory requirements entered into force on 1 January 2023. From this date, it is mandatory for all ships to calculate their attained Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI), to measure their energy efficiency, and to start collecting data to report their annual operational Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and CII rating. This statutory news summarizes the two regulations.
The 79th session of the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 79) was held from 12 to 16 December 2022. Highlights include the adoption of a Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA) in the Mediterranean Sea from 1 May 2025 as well as further discussions on the revision of the IMO GHG Strategy scheduled for 2023 and future technical and market-based measures.
DNV has updated the DCS reporting scheme to apply CII correction factors and voyage adjustments starting from 2023. Also, DNV has improved the functionalities to report activities out-of-MRV-scope; these are activities not serving the purpose of transporting cargo or passengers for commercial purposes. This statutory news explains how these new measures work.
The 78th session of the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 78) was held remotely from 6 to 10 June 2022. Highlights included the finalization of technical guidelines for the upcoming EEXI, CII and SEEMP regulations; approval of a proposal for a sulphur emission control area (SECA) in the Mediterranean Sea; and further discussions on the revision of the IMO GHG Strategy scheduled for 2023, and future technical and market-based measures.
The updated MEPC.340(77) 2021 Guidelines for Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems was adopted in November 2021, and shipowners and manufacturers operating or designing EGCSs (exhaust gas cleaning systems) will need to meet some modified requirements. A summary of the most relevant changes is presented in this statutory news.
Since 2019 ships of 5,000 GT and above have been reporting their fuel oil consumption data mandated by the IMO DCS. From 2023, cargo, cruise and RoPax ships must calculate CII with a required rating of C or better. This means some ships will have to improve their carbon intensity. A verified Ship Operational Carbon Intensity Plan, or SEEMP Part III, is to be kept on board from 1 January 2023 to document how you plan to achieve your CII targets. This statutory news provides an update on the SEEMP Part III and recommends next steps.
Some important milestones for the EU MRV and IMO DCS are coming up in the first half of 2022. This statutory news contains some recommendations relevant to both regulations.
The 77th session of the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 77) was held remotely from 22 to 26 November 2021. Highlights include recognition of the need to strengthen the ambitions in the IMO GHG Strategy, adoption of a resolution urging for the use of distillates or other cleaner fuels or technologies to reduce emission of black carbon in or near the Arctic, and revised guidelines on exhaust gas cleaning systems.
The monitoring, reporting and verification of CO2 emissions from voyages according to the UK MRV commences 1 January 2022. For DNV’s EU MRV customers, this implies virtually no additional efforts. This statutory news explains what you need to know about the upcoming UK MRV.
On 14 July 2021, the European Commission launched its Fit for 55 package of proposals intended to reduce the EU’s total GHG emissions by 55% by 2030, paving the way for full EU decarbonization by 2050. As a result, shipping will face new stringent EU regulations. This statutory news summarizes the package and its relevance for maritime shipping.
Report
The report offer an initial assessment of the impacts decarbonization of the international shipping industry will have on crewmembers. Collaboration and engagement between stakeholders involved in the Maritime Just Transition Task Force and its Global Industry Peer Learning Group contributed to the development of this study. DNV’s GHG Pathway model was used to model three different decarbonization scenarios, as well as to assess the effect on the number of seafarers in need of additional training to support shipping’s decarbonization.

Eirik Nyhus, DNV’s Director – Environment for Maritime, is joined by Sveinung Oftedal, a highly respected key voice in the IMO’s journey towards decarbonization.
This episode explores how shipping regulators can improve the availability of zero-carbon fuel solutions. Host Eirik Nyhus is joined by the lead author of DNV’s Maritime Forecast to 2050, Eirik Ovrum, to analyse the strategies available.
Host Eirik Nyhus returns to the topic of the EU’s Fit for 55 package, widely seen as its plan for decarbonization. Eirik reviews the latest maritime regulatory discussions, covering each of the four key shipping regulations.
The SEEMP Part III is intended to help companies achieve the required CII
The CII measures how efficiently a ship transports goods or passengers and is given in grams of CO2 emitted per cargo-carrying capacity and nautical mile
The EEXI is to be verified and a new Energy Efficiency Certificate issued no later than the first annual IAPP survey on or after 1 January 2023
