At Nor-Shipping, RINA announced the Approval in Principle of a revolutionary Ultramax bulker design powered by both LNG and hydrogen. Developed in partnership with SDARI and Almi Marine, the vessel is based on SDARI's Green Dolphin 64 platform and incorporates cutting-edge technologies for enhanced efficiency. This milestone was achieved through a Joint Development Project, showcasing RINA's commitment to innovation in the marine industry. The design integrates hybrid propulsion, battery-assisted electric propulsion, wind-assisted systems, and a unique hydrogen-reforming solution, eliminating challenges related to liquid hydrogen storage. RINA's verification of the design's safety and environmental standards highlights its pioneering approach to sustainable shipbuilding. The dual-fuel concept not only improves energy efficiency and cargo capacity but also facilitates decarbonization without the complexities of hydrogen supply and storage. By incorporating onboard hydrogen production, the design aims to reduce emissions and achieve compliance with GHG regulations. With a focus on future-proofing, the Ultramax bulker design offers a flexible pathway to net-zero emissions by 2050. RINA's role as a leading certification and engineering company in the global market underscores its dedication to driving environmental progress in the maritime sector.
