Aspire to be invited:Design Stage of RegulationsConcept Stage of Equipment
Allow Lloyd’s Register (and other leading Class Societies) to ensure the proposed Regulations are realistic
Lessons from all the above
• Regulations on associated stakeholders are not always compatible with the Shipping Regulations
• There is not always the Technology available to comply with the Regulations
• All Stakeholders in the Shipping Industry have to work together to improve the Environmental Issues as there is already so much that has been done (Shipping most regulated transport industry)
• Time, effort and resources (especially financial) are being used in areas that do not make the impact expected
Shipping needs your Help!
