Green priorities for CCS

摘要

China Classification Society is promoting green shipping in a big way as it sets out to become the sixth largest classification society by 2016. A source at the Beijing-headquartered society tells The Naval Architect: "A new green wave of technology is coming. The future competition for orders will focus on energy savings, and that is where we must be leaders." The 2016 aim is to have a classed fleet of 80 million gt according to CCS president Sun Licheng. Earlier this year CCS's classed fleet broke through the 60 million gt mark for the first time.
