By: Vance Madelo

The Tsuneishi group, with Tsuneishi Technical Services Philippines (Inc.) being one of the group's affiliates, is responsibly designing and building ships that are in strict compliance of the standards set forth by the ClassNK, a ship classification society that ensures safety of life and property at sea, as well as prevention of pollution to the marine environment.

That said, Tsuneishi-made vessels are aptly considered safe for the health of both environment and the crews who operate within the confines of these ships.

The TTSP Design Engineers and staffs are constantly informed of the current ClassNK code updates to orient them of the latest developments in the shipbuilding industry guidelines. ClassNk facilitators came over to the TTSP last June 20, 2017 to conduct explanatory meeting of these codes which included the following topics and corresponding sub-topics:

1. Enforcement for Ballast Water Management (BWM) Convention

• Outline of the convention
• Drawing Approval and Survey
• Installation of BWM’s
• IOPP De-harmonization
• USCG Requirement
• ClassNK Activity

2. Latest Information of Noise Code

• Background
• Outline of the Noise Code
• Countermeasure
• ClassNk Activities

3. Outline of Inventory of Hazardous Materials

• Hong Kong Convention
• EU Regulation on Ship Recycling
• Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM)
• Development of IHM for New Ships
• Statement of Compliance for IHM

TTSP designs bulk carriers, containers, tankers, and other vessel types that are in strict consideration of these guidelines not mainly for compliance but in meticulous alignment to its undying principle of quality and global competitiveness.
