ClassNK bulk carrier receives ELW award

As part of its 'Innovation Endorsement' service for innovative technologies and initiatives, ClassNK has established requirements to indicate on a class certificate that a ship is equipped with measures and facilities that contribute to the improvement of the on board environment in its “Guidelines for Excellent Living and Working Environment”.

Aiming to improve the welfare of the crew, Fuyo Kaiun has planned to gradually expand the installation of 'DENBA+ Marine', a freshness preservation system for ships developed by DENBA JAPAN Corp., across its fleet. By installing it in the food storage room, the device has been designed to maintain the freshness of foodstuffs, thereby improving the food environment for the crew and reducing food loss. It has obtained ClassNK’s Innovation Endorsement certification for Products & Solutions.

Following Fuyo Kaiun’s application, ClassNK conducted an examination of ELETTRA, which was the first vessel outfitted with the device, based on its guidelines. Upon confirming it complied with the prescribed requirements, the ELW notation was affixed to the vessel.

ClassNK has been committed to supporting the industry's efforts to improve the environment on board through its certification.

In order to promote the spread and development of innovative technologies, ClassNK has offered Innovation Endorsement as a swift certification service in cooperation with technological front runners to establish appropriate evaluation criteria.
