In recent days, the first national cooperation agreement on carbon footprint inspection for ship repairs between the seafaring heavy workers and the chinese classification society (cs) zhejiang has been formally signed, marking a substantial step in the standardization of carbon management in our ship repair industry, which is important for promoting a green low-carbon transformation of the industry-wide chain。
The cooperation agreement is technically based on the guidelines for the examination of the carbon footprints of ship repairs, developed by ccs, which, for the first time, define the normative methods of accounting for and testing of the carbon footprints of ships, successfully filling the gaps in international standards in this area。
Under the agreement, the parties would base their practice on long-distance shipping heavy workers in the canals, select ships for repair under the umbrella of the china-wide shipping group, conduct the first national pilot project to certify the carbon footprint of ships, construct a complete implementation path for standard-standarding - practical certification - industry extension, and provide a practical basis for the subsequent development of widely accepted industry-based carbon footprint management norms。
Under the twin-carbon goal and the international maritime organization (imo) emission reduction strategy, ship repair, as an important component of the management of the ship's carbon footprint throughout its life cycle, has become a key issue for the sustainable development of industry. This cooperation will provide an example of carbon management practice for the ship repair industry, helping to establish a transparent and credible system of accounting and certification for ship repairs。
It is a matter of concern that, the day before the signing of the agreement, the long-distance sea transport heavy workers in the aip (recognition of principles) certificate, “180,000 dwt bulk bulk lng double fuel retrofitting programme”, issued by the shanghai institute for regulation of ccs. The programme has achieved an optimized equipment layout within limited ship space, ensuring that core performance indicators after ship retrofitting remain stable, and is an adequate demonstration of the firm's hard nuclear research and development capabilities in the field of green ship retrofitting technology。
In the future, the director-general of the long-range shipping heavy workers of atoyama said that he would use this contract as an opportunity to continue to deepen the technological innovation of green ship repair, integrate the concept of carbon footprint management throughout production operations, and strengthen collaboration with partners such as the china shipping association to explore new models of low-carbon development for ship repair and to contribute to china's wisdom and chinese programmes for the green transformation of the shipping industry。
