In Mid-March, the “Century Highway Green”, a car carrier fuelled by LNG that had been under construction at the Japanese Tadotsu Shipyard was delivered to K Line.
It is the first newly-built vessel to obtain Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (Class NK) notation certifying that the ship is adapted for remote surveys.
A remote survey uses digital technology on the vessel to remotely perform the inspection surveys of facilities within a vessel that were previously performed by a class inspector on site. These surveys can be conducted while lowering the risk of infection of the crew during the Covid-19 pandemic. (cd)
