SCHIFFSTECHNIK | SHIP

SCHIFFSTECHNIK | SHIP TECHNOLOGY »An even louder voice« for classification After a comprehensive structural reorganisation and additional recent adaptions, the global classification societies’ association IACS now wants to respond even faster and better to developments in and around shipping Last year, IACS had undertaken a comprehensive restructuring. Now, Nick Brown from Lloyd’s Register, the first elected chair, has taken up his position. Speaking at a recent meeting, he highlighted »the need for an even louder voice from IACS during this decade of rapid change as new technologies and new fuels need to be thoroughly understood and risks of adoption mitigated against.« Acceleration of IACS’ work Noting the increasing calls for IACS to be more responsive, more visible, and more openly and proactively engaged on the big topics facing the industry, Brown continued: »There is lots for IACS to do and collaboration with all industry stakeholders will be key to our mutual success.« As he handed over the chair, Koichi Fujiwara from ClassNK said: »IACS response to the Covid-19 pandemic and its rapid expansion of remote surveys was vital in ensuring business continuity while maintaining high safety standards. I hope that this agility will be replicated elsewhere as the new governance changes start to take effect.« During the meeting, the association dealt with some of the important trends in the maritime industry and how to react as IACS. Not surprisingly, digitalization and environmental aspects were on top of the agenda. »Recognising that the power of digitalisation needs to be fully leveraged to support the global imperative of decarbonization, and the crosscutting nature of both work-streams«, it was agreed to an acceleration of IACS’ existing work programme. The goal is to deliver relevant outputs in time to lead, influence and inform the decisions being made in shipowners’ and shipbuilders’ offices as well as in the IMO and other regulatory centres. New expert group This includes the establishment of an Expert Group for the safety of new technologies and zero or very low carbon fuels; to develop high-level positions on these issues and possible related submissions to IMO, and a commitment to ensure that the short-term measures on GHG reduction recently agreed at IMO are capable of global and consistent implementation. Another topic on the agenda was the »Information Paper on Remote Surveys«, Top 10 – Classed fleet | number of vessels | June 2021 Top 10 – Classed fleet | Mio.

SCHIFFSTECHNIK | SHIP TECHNOLOGY which was published by IACS. Building on that, the participants also fast-tracked the development of an IACS UR or Recommendation for completion by October 2021 and reaffirmed the intention to engage deeply in discussions on a new output at MSC104. Recognising the possibility of regulatory obstacles, the group also expanded IACS’ work on modernizing the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). They committed to submitting a paper to International Maritime Organization’s body MSC105 (Maritime Safety Committee) highlighting the need for the regulatory regime to keep pace with new technologies and welcoming the engagement of other industry bodies in this work. »Noting that digitalization can only be successful if cyber systems are secure«, the progress toward the development of requirements for cyber resilience of onboard systems, the translation of Rec.166 on Cyber resilience of ships into an UR, incorporating the consideration of cyber risk into ISM and initiating discussions with industry on new proposals to IMO following the completion of its regulatory scoping exercise on Autonomous Surface Ships was welcomed. By the end of 2020, IACS had adopted a new governance model as »part of a longterm strategy to future-proof the association«. Among the measures is the change to an elected Council Chair, who will serve for two years. Re-election will be explicitly possible. Up to now, there has been an automatic rotation among the classification societies. Simple majority incorporated In addition, there is to be a chairperson of the »General Policy Group« (GPG) elected for three years, who will join the IACS Secretariat in London. He is to bring the association’s experts closer to the IMO and other industry associations. Last but not least, there is a move to a simple majority for much of the decisionmaking and an expanded office of the Chair to allow for faster decisionmaking. Majority decisions are to be valid when at least 50 % of the registered IACS gross tonnage is reached. For our annual report on maritime classification we asked the top societies and IACS members for statements and insights regarding some of the »hot topics« for the industry. On the following pages, we publish some of their replies. These were our questions: • What is on top of your agenda for 2022? • The vote of the World Bank has put a damper on LNG development, recommending that the world’s governments stop promoting this technology or even curb existing support. Does this have an impact on your strategy and do you expect politics/regulators to react to this call? • In what other fields do you expect (or favor) more political regulation for the maritime industry? • In view of the increasing number of accidents involving large container ships – e.g. »Ever Given« but also »ONE Apus« – do you see a need for adjustments to (classification) rules for stability, navigation and ship safety?
