During the Marintec China exhibition in Shanghai, Deltamarin received five approvals in principle (AiP) from classification societies DNV and Lloyd’s Register. These recognitions cover advanced ship designs that target a cleaner energy transition in the global maritime industry.
DNV AiP for clean energy ships
One of the approved designs is for a liquefied natural gas supply vessel. supply vessel for liquefied natural gas with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters. This vessel is intended to serve large LNG consuming vessels, with a focus on safe, efficient and compatible operations with future clean fuel infrastructure.
Another significant validation was granted to a 9,500-cubic-meter gas carrier of 9,500 cubic meters for transporting liquefied ethylene, which integrates hybrid electric hybrid electric propulsion and wind and wind-assisted propulsion. Designed for Class 1A ice conditions, this vessel symbolizes a firm step towards sustainable solutions even in challenging regions.
Technical boost to safety and operational flexibility
DNV also recognized the design of a chemical tanker 6,200 DWT chemical tanker constructed of duplex stainless steel. Its shaft generator secondary propulsion system provides an extra layer of safety against mechanical failure. In addition, by staying below 5,000 gross tons, it is exempt from the European ETS regime, combining operational efficiency and environmental compliance.
Lloyd’s Register approved the design of an ethane carrier with a capacity of 103,000 cubic meters, equipped with three GTT Mark III tanks. This model is aimed at improving logistics efficiency in global liquefied gas supply chains, with high technical reliability.
The latest approval is for a container ship designed to operate with methanol as an alternative fuel. Its infrastructure is adapted to facilitate the adoption of green methanol, positioning it as a viable option for operators seeking to reduce emissions.
