5 How we started Our heritage is genuinely historic Formed in 1760 in Edward Lloyd s coffee house to examine and classify merchant ships according to their condition. We have 250 years of global marine history The world s first ship classification society and this remains our core activity today. and over 100 years serving other industries across society from energy, rail, food safety to power and manufacturing. Heritage an important part of our culture and forward-thinking approach to our business 5 - Ship Classification

15 What s currently Out There? Pieter Schelte Project (Allseas) Largest vessel to be built ever Several LR offices involved in the design appraisal stage Any discipline covering classification as well as certification of equipment and components Developments from 2010 on-wards 15 - Ship Classification Life-saving equipment on board for 600 persons Pipelay Equipment Type: Pipelay tower for J-lay and Reeling. J-lay: Quad joints, 32 OD Top tension 2000 t. R-lay: 2 x 2,000 t reels capacity, 16 OD, 800 t top tension. A&R system: 2,000 t capacity.

16 What s currently Out There? We have: LR Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Ships: IMO Code for Recognised Organisation (RO Code) EU Regulations etc Ship Classification

17 Rules and Regulations Development SOLAS II-2 regulation limits the flashpoint of oil fuels to 60 or higher SOLAS II-2 regulation 17: Alternative Design and Arrangements Current designs must comply with SOLAS, MSC.285(86), LR Rules and National Administration requirements IGC Safe carriage by sea of bulk liquefied gasses Resolution MSC 285(86) Interim Guidelines on Safety for Natural Gas-Fuelled Engine Installations in Ships (2009) Lloyd s Register Rules for the Carriage of Liquefied Gasses in Bulk Draft IGF Code Lloyd s Register Rules for the Classification of Natural Gas Fuelled Ships (July 2012) IGF Code Lloyd s Register Rules for the Classification of of Natural Gas Fuelled Ships (July 2014) 17 - Ship Classification

18 What s currently Out There? Expectations! adopt technical solutions outside of prescriptive regimes adopt a robust but affordable approach go beyond assuring safety through the Class process broader sustainability assurance covering also environmental and commercial outcomes qualification of novel technology or alternative arrangements and more 18 - Ship Classification

19 What s Currently Out There? ~ 40 LNG-powered vessels in service Majority small ferries and off-shore support vessels 70 % built/converted since 2009 ~ 20 more in next 2 years Lloyd s Register Experience (excl. LNG-carriers): ARGONON (2011) First dual fuel IWW tanker VIKING GRACE (2013) First SRTP gas-fuelled Ro-Pax GREENSTREAM (2013) First gas only IWW tanker 10+ other LNG as fuel projects 19 - Ship Classification

20 How Can LR Support You? LR support during pre-contract and plan approval stages: Single point of contact Dedicated design development team Spec. review JIP on Assessment of Risk Based Design (ARBD) LR Technical Performance Group (TPG) All plan approval disciplines can be handled in China Design familiarisation workshop with LR China LR optimisation services 20 - Ship Classification

22 How Can LR Support You in Design Optimisation? FINISH 7. Study naked hull (model scale) and integrated hull (full scale) 6. Study integrated hull (full scale) 5. Propeller, rudder and appendages added 4. Study naked hull (full scale) 3. Naked hull lines 22 - Ship Classification START 1. Optimised design and/or whole ship 2. Define Performance goals

24 The VIKING GRACE Built at STX Finland, Turku, delivered in 2013 World s largest gas-fuelled Ro-Pax ship Complying with Safe-Return-To-Port regs.

25 Flexibility in Design: Novel Modular design and construction The ships vary in length from 94 to 132 metres. Can be configured to meet client specific needs and requirements. IHC Supporter class has standardised fore- and aft-ships, pre-designed modules and a client-configured midship body. The midship can be fully client-defined or composed of pre-designed modules. Result/Benefit This allows a reduced lead time and ensures a lower price and a faster delivery of the vessel to the market. IHC Supporter class SAT diving vessel 25 - Ship Classification

27 Flexibility in Operation: Working in the ice and cold Ice breaking and Ice management capability Double acting Winterisation to -35 degrees Oil Recovery Rescue capacity 195 persons Vitus Bering Courtesy: Archtech Helsinki 27 - Ship Classification

28 What Challenges may the Future bring? How to assess and manage Risk: ISO Definition of Risk: The effect of uncertainty on objectives Today a split responsibility/authority in shipping with: 1) Flag Administrations generally responsible for crew competency standards and safe management 2) Class providing asset integrity services. LR is still developing the best way of managing this 28 - Ship Classification

29 Conclusions Classification Societies have an important and growing role Ultimate goal is assurance of ships software in terms of operation and maintenance as well as hardware i.e. from design & manufacturing to recycling The design challenges for ships will be resolved through active dialogue and participation between stakeholders in the industry The alternative designs and arrangements mandated by SOLAS will lead to new and perhaps very different future solutions Solutions will be ship type and trade route specific The driving factors are demand, supply, price, and political pressures No matter what Navigare necesse est 29 - Ship Classification
