Norwegian Navy Explores

New Ship Procurement

Nine shipyards and 10 naval administrations are joining togeth- er to establish and further develop joint technical regulations for naval vessels. A committee has been formed under the leadership of DnV, with the support of the

Royal Norwegian Navy Material

Command (SFK).

The new regulations will be based on the Royal Norwegian

Navy's own technical rules for naval vessels and DnV's rules for fast ferries. The completed set of rules will be published by DnV next summer. SFK will use the new regulations in the design and building of new frigates for the

Royal Norwegian Navy. The aim of the new rules is, among other things, to utilize the improvement in efficiency and technological developments that have taken place in civil shipbuilding.

Ballast Water Regulation

Database Available

The role of ballast water in the transfer of new and potentially harmful aquatic organisms has become an increasing concern for many in the maritime community.

Since the IMO's Marine

Environment Protection

Committee adopted voluntary guidelines in 1991, the industry's search for an appropriate solution to this problem has intensified.

In addition to the investigation of possible responses on the interna- tional scale, national maritime authorities have implemented a wide variety of regulations and restrictions on ballast water man- agement. For a ship's master, already struggling daily to ensure his vessel's compliance with local law, the proliferation of ballast water management regulations only adds to his burden.

BIMCO's comprehensive data- base on national ballast water management regulations is now complete. Available only to BIMCO
