RINA Approves Dual-Fuel Bulker Design Developed by SDARI and Almi
Classification society RINA has awarded approval in principle (AiP) to a new dual-fuel LNG/hydrogen bulker design developed by Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute (SDARI) in collaboration with Almi Marine Management.
The announcement was made at Nor-Shipping and marks the outcome of a joint development project between RINA, SDARI and Almi Marine, RINA said in an emailed statement on Friday.
The vessel is based on SDARI’s latest Green Dolphin 64 platform and features a dual-fuel, hydrogen-ready propulsion system incorporating battery-assisted hybrid-electric systems and wind-assisted technologies.
A key innovation is an onboard hydrogen-reforming solution that enables hydrogen production during voyages, eliminating the need for cryogenic hydrogen storage and complex supply chains.
