ClassNK has granted its Innovation Endorsements for Products & Solutions to two initiatives by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., “FOCUS” and “Sustainable Seafaring, Wellness Living”.

Vessel performance analysis that integrates abundant operational knowledge and naval architecture method, 2. Realisation of sailing with low GHG emission and improvement of effective operation by precise performance analysis, 3. Realisation of safe vessel operation with effective support from the shoreside, 4. Utilisation of noon report data by visualisation and improvement of data accuracy, 5. Fleet Tour function utilising general arrangement and photographs taken by 360-degree camera.
Quarters to realise seafarers’
"Sustainable Seafaring, Wellness Living" is a concept for seafarers' living quarters to realise their well-being. ClassNK has reviewed the initiatives under this concept with the aim of: 1. improving the basic living environment on board through specifications that contribute to hygiene, privacy, and health, regardless of the type of ship, 2. achieving a more attractive and rewarding environment with specifications for each type of ship that contribute to comfort, convenience, and quality of life, and 3. realising the well-being on board by establishing a new public space “IKOI” in the accommodation space. After conducting verifications on each, ClassNK has issued certificates to MOL.
ClassNK will continue to further promote its Innovation Endorsement for Ships, Products & Solutions, and Providers, and strive to support innovative technologies and initiatives.
