DNV awards first D-INF(S) type approvals to COSCO and SHI for standardized data infrastructure systems

COSCO and SHI have received the world’s first D-INF(S) type approvals from DNV for their data collection systems. The D-INF rules provide guidelines for the design, construction, and maintenance of a ship’s data infrastructure. By implementing the class notation, COSCO and SHI demonstrate their commitment to providing a standardized data sharing solution to their customers and ambition to lead in the digital transformation of the maritime industry.

A standardized data infrastructure system can, through improved connectivity, data sharing, analysis, and real-time monitoring, enhance safety, improve operational efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs. DNV’s data collection infrastructure and vessel connectivity (D-INF) rules can help ensure that a vessel’s data network is reliable, secure, and supports the increasing demand for data-driven decision-making in navigation, communications, and safety systems.

Samsung Heavy Industries’ (SHI) data collection infrastructure, SVESSEL® BIG will be a key component of the digitally enabled vessels they offer to their customers. With D-INF(S) type approval of the smart vessel system, SVESSEL®, customers can have confidence that the key data pipeline onboard their vessels has been verified to meet state-of-the-art standards for reliable, safe, and efficient information sharing.

Cargo is key to fair emissions calculations, says SHIPNEXT CEO | Marine Jobs

A new emissions index has been developed by independent shipping platform SHIPNEXT, in a bid to address widely-held industry concerns about the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) emissions reduction measures.

According to Alexander Varvarenko, the Belgium-based shipping and tech entrepreneur, cargo is at the heart of the new SHIPNEXT emissions index, which has been designed for vessels carrying breakbulk, dry bulk, heavy and oversized shipments, and in consultation with ship owners.

The SHIPNEXT Voyage Emission Index (SVEI) is based on the individual technical parameters of the vessel, its speed, consumption and intake, whilst also taking into consideration the actual cargo quantity and the intended voyage.

SVEI considers the ship’s fuel consumption at sea to reflect the work of the particular vessel. Fuel consumption in the port is ignored, since such consumption is comparable for most ships and the time of loading and discharging is determined mainly by port technology, not by the technical capabilities of the vessel.

Iran, Venezuela launch direct shipping line | Crewing Assistance

Iran and Venezuela have launched a direct shipping route to enhance trade ties amid U.S. sanctions, the Iranian embassy in Caracas announced in a statement released on Friday.

According to the statement, the route seeks to facilitate the interaction between traders in both countries, Mehr News Agency reported.

Appreciating the efforts of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL), the embassy said a cargo ship will leave Iran for Venezuela every three months.

The IRISL said last week that a ship carrying Iranian goods will head to Venezuela in May.

In late December 2022, the state-owned shipping company had notified Iranian authorities and the chambers of commerce of the country, expressing readiness to create a regular shipping line to export Iranian commodities to Venezuela.
