驗船中心(CR)發布最新增修訂之船級規範/準則

驗船中心(CR)發布最新鋼船規範、高速船規範、海巡艦艇規範、船舶載運散裝液化氣體準則,將於2023年7月1日生效實施。

驗船中心表示,CR創立至今已七十年餘,為政府授權的驗船機構,提供船舶檢驗服務。其中船級檢驗包含船體結構、機器與電機系統、材料與設備,涵蓋新造船、現成船檢驗及技術諮詢等,CR規範是執行這些檢驗的主要依據,本次CR規範修訂要點如下二項:

一、增加與替代燃料相關之註解及定期檢驗規定

因應船舶使用替代燃料的發展,CR已陸續發布船舶使用氣體燃料、甲醇/乙醇及氨燃料等準則,因應燃料種類多元化,本次增訂船舶使用替代燃料之註解及定期檢驗規定,例如:船舶搭載使用燃油/甲醇雙燃料主機,將可註記為 LFFS(DFD – Methanol),其中LFFS表示低閃點燃料船,DFD表示可使用雙燃料的柴油引擎,以因應市場變化並利於區別。

二、液化氣體船之檢驗規定

台灣因應能源轉型,載運液化天然氣LNG的船舶日益重要,配合國際海事組織(IMO)所發布的「國際船舶載運散裝液化氣體構造與設備章程(簡稱IGC章程)」內容修訂CR規範中液化氣體船之規定,並增加LNG船特殊設計或設備的對應船級註解。此外為使液化氣體船的規定更加完善,CR也全新制訂「船舶載運散裝液化氣體準則」,包含低溫貨艙之設計、管路、電氣要求及相關設備等,供業界參考使用。

驗船中心強調,CR規範修訂的面向期望切合船東、造船廠及國內產業需求,並因應新生效的國際公約、創新的造船技術、先進的材料及設備等,滾動式修訂現有規範並力求與國際接軌,以提升產業競爭力、為航行安全把關。

驗船中心發布最新「鋼船規範2023」、「高速船規範2023」、「海巡艦艇規範2023」及「船舶載運散裝液化氣體準則」,刊載於驗船中心網站(www.crclass.org)「出版刊物」頁面,歡迎業界採用。

國際海事組織MSC 107會議開幕,審議海上自主水面船舶(MASS)章程草案

國際海事組織(International Maritime Organization, IMO)將於5月31日至6月9日舉行海事安全委員會第107屆實體及線上會議(MSC 107)。

本次會議預計延續MSC 106對於海上自主水面船舶(MASS)章程的討論,依IMO規劃的時間表,若各篇內容順利達成結論,該章程預計將於2028年1月1日由目前的建議性質轉為強制性章程,目前的討論過程預計包含以下特點:

  1. 先以貨船為對象進行規劃,未來再考量納入客船的可行性。
  2. 由於MASS為嶄新且持續發展中的技術,目前還無法制定具體詳細的規範。因此章程的開發階段將先由目標和功能等框架的制定著手,再逐步發展技術細項(即目標導向型方法)。

為了加快審議速度,IMO已於2023年4月的海上自主水面船舶第2次聯合工作組(MASS-JWG 2)先針對重要議題進行協商,包括船長的角色及責任、遠端操作員的資格要求、遠端操作中心(Remote Operations Centre)的定義等,初步共識包含:

  1. 無論自主等級或操作模式,每艘MASS仍應有一位船長(Human Master)為其負責,且船長於必要時應能介入船舶操控。
  2. 於特定條件下,單一航次內可由多位船長接替負責該船,但同一時間只應由一位船長負責。
    上述內容預計於MSC 107進行審議。此外,對於遠端操作員是否應視為船員,及是否適用國際航海人員訓練、發證及航行當值標準(STCW)公約,亦將於會議中進一步確認。

另一方面,本次會議預計採納下述SOLAS相關修正案:全封閉式救生艇通風要求、禁止滅火劑使用全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)、船上起重設備及操錨用絞機規定、散裝船及貨櫃船強制裝設電子傾斜儀等,驗船中心將持續關注本次MSC會期的發展。

強化實務稽核技巧,CR舉辦船舶ISM內稽講座

財團法人驗船中心(CR Classification Society,簡稱CR)於五月十八日舉辦國際安全管理章程(ISM CODE)內部稽查訓練課程,由傅定傑處長及賴文修資深驗船師主講,訓練課程針對ISM CODE條款、公司/船舶評鑑種類及流程、ISM評鑑作業執行、內部稽查之紀錄檢查及現場巡查、實務經驗案例等主題進行詳細說明。

CR表示,本次課程內容主要教導學員如何有效進行船舶操作、維修保養及船員管理之稽核,而船上部分則著重與船員晤談技巧,確認船長、輪機長、船副、管輪等管理階層對救生、滅火等重要安全設備的實務保養及操船相關知識是否熟稔,期望透過知識傳遞,進而提升船舶安全。

此次課程計有陽明、萬海、達和等十多家公司報名參加,除可使學員更加明瞭安全管理評鑑流程及作業,CR也結合自身多年檢驗實務經驗,以案例分析加強學員稽核技巧,參加學員獲益良多,與講師互動熱絡、反應熱烈。

上述課程也將於今年十月再舉辦一場次,除此之外,CR亦設有「PSC檢查機制重點及應對策略訓練課程」及「公司保全員CSO訓練課程」歡迎航運同業踴躍報名參加,詳情可參考CR官網訓練課程專區
