The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) announced its plans for future digitalisation and decarbonisation work at its 83rd IACS Council session (C38), with Lloyd's Register CEO Nick Brown in attendance, who begins his tenure as IACS Council Chairman. Work plans include establishing an expert group on the safety of new technologies and zero or very low-carbon fuels, developing relevant high-level positions and submissions to IMO, and a commitment to ensure that IMO's recently proposed short-term measures for GHG reduction can be implemented consistently on a global level. These actions and more are part of IACS' decision to accelerate its existing work programme in order to be prepared to lead, influence and inform industry decision-making going forward on pressing topics related to digitalisation and decarbonisation, both at regulatory level with IMO and on an individual shipowner/operator basis.
