Year: 2026 Language: English Author: ClassNK Genre: Guide Publisher: ClassNK Edition: 4.2 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 46 Description: The Guidelines prescribes minimum requirements for environmental measures which are considered to be desirable with respect to current conditions. Compliance with theseminimum requirements is indicated by the affixation of the notation “Environmental Awareness” to ship classification characters. The Guidelines was last formally reviewed and revised in 2016; since that time, however, another review of its provisions and contents became necessary for several reasons: some of the criteria for treaty requirements have been changed; environmental measures that were stipulated as optional advanced features in the last version of the Guidelines are now actually mandatory treaty requirements that have become common practise; and the fact that there are still currently insufficient provisions for some environmental measures considered to by many to be necessary. For these reasons, therefore, the contents of the Guidelines have been revised and updated in reference to the latest international conventions, etc. In addition to the above, the Society launched a new certification service called in “Innovation Endorsement (IE)” in 2020 for the purpose of the dissemination and development of innovative technologies. In order to expand the scope of this certification service, it has been decided to include the environmental measures within the scope of the service. A new chapter, therefore, has been added to the Guidelines to cover such matters.
