ClassNK participates in GHG data council

The Global Ro-Ro Community, whose participants include Ro-Ro carriers and other stakeholders covering approximately 80% of the transport capacity of the global car carrier fleet, has established the GRC Council as the formal governing body responsible for the operation and ongoing development of the GRC framework. ClassNK has contributed to the establishment of the GRCC through participation in the development of its Governance Framework and data handling rules, and has been involved as an independent verifier since the GRC’s inception. The formal governance framework provides a structured environment for the continuous review and improvement of emissions accounting methodologies and data handling rules, strengthening the foundation on which Ro-Ro carriers, cargo owners and vehicle manufacturers can rely for transparent and consistent GHG emissions data. This is expected to advance emissions management and decarbonisation efforts across the supply chain more effectively, while the continuous improvement of internationally aligned accounting methodologies will enhance environmental information transparency and promote industry-wide decarbonisation.

Sea-Intelligence: 1.7 million TEU vessel space absorbed in delaysTrade & Logistics

Sea-Intelligence: 1.7 million TEU vessel space absorbed in delays

Global container vessel schedule reliability remains somewhat stable around 60‑65%, showing no signs of improvement, and in stark contrast to the 2011‑2019 normality of 70‑80%. Furthermore, late vessel arrivals are now settling into 5‑5. 5 days of delay, up from the pre-pandemic norm of 3‑4 days. This structural shift to a larger risk of vessel delays, and their longer durations, inexorably leads to a larger share of global capacity being rendered unavailable, as vessels stuck in delays do not move cargo. The share of these delayed vessels combined with the duration of the delays, can be used to calculate the amount of global deep‑sea capacity effectively absorbed by delays (Figure 1).

Baltic Shipping Company adds two wind-assisted hybrid vessels

Baltic Shipping Company has added two new 3,550 DWT vessels equipped with wind-assisted propulsion and battery technology. M/V Baltic Iron and M/V Baltic Timber are now in commercial operation under the company’s management. Both vessels feature two Econowind VentoFoils , which are expected to reduce fuel consumption by up to 12%. VentoFoils target lower fuel consumption The VentoFoils use wind to provide additional thrust to the vessels. As a result, less power is required from the main engine.
