KHI gets ClassNK’s AiP for world’s largest liquefied hydrogen carrier CCS May 7, 2021, by Fatima Bahtić
Japanese corporation Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) has been awarded approval in principle (AiP) by ClassNK for designing the world’s largest liquefied hydrogen carrier cargo containment system (CCS) of 40,000 cbm class per tank.

The CCS for which the AiP was obtained is designed to contain cryogenic liquefied hydrogen, reduced to a temperature of –253°C and one eight-hundredth its initial volume, for shipping by sea in large amounts.
This containment system is said to have the largest capacity of its kind worldwide used in liquefied hydrogen marine transport.
Japanese Manufacturers Cooperate on Development of Hydrogen Fueled Marine Engines
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., Yanmar Power Technology Co., Ltd., and Japan Engine Corporation formed a consortium of Japanese engine manufacturers to pursue joint development of hydrogen fueled marine engines for ocean-going and coastal vessels towards establishing a world-leading position in hydrogen engine technologies.
With the growing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, marine engines are expected to transition to various alternative fuels in the coming years. Among the many alternatives, hydrogen is attracting global interest for its application in a wide range of energy and mobility industrial sectors as a fuel that offers zero-emissions. The companies are looking to develop technologies in the hydrogen value chain towards global expansion of this important alternative fuel. By cooperating on common fundamental technologies such as basic experiments and analysis on hydrogen combustion, m

IoS-OP holds Taiwan seminar to introduce its data sharing initiative
“IoS-OP Seminar in Taiwan” was held in Taipei, Taiwan on 16 April by IoS-OP Consortium. Attended by around 91 professionals from Taiwan’s maritime industry at the venue virtually connected to Japan, the consortium members introduced the rule and framework for sharing IoT data of ships, including data ownership, and digital solutions from each company.
IoS-OP is a universal platform that enables the sharing of ship operation data among shipbuilders, manufacturers, and related service providers without compromising profits of data providers. The initiative has been promoted by Ship Data Center Co., Ltd. (ShipDC) under the supervision of the membership association “IoS-OP Consortium”.
