Royal Bodewes, one of the leading shipbuilding yards in Northern Europe, has awarded RINA a contract for plan approval, supervision during the construction and classification of seven new ships, scheduled for staged delivery from October 2022 onwards. The 5267 GT vessels, which are for the large Irish dry cargo operator Arklow Shipping, will be built in Hoogezand in the Netherlands.

As cruise ships become bigger and their passenger capacity increases, innovation spreads throughout the industry through top level safety.

RINA has launched the Digital Ship Notation, the first additional class notation available for shipowners willing to demonstrate the added value of their ship or fleet through the efficient use of digital technology.

d’Amico Group, a world leader in maritime transportation in the Dry Cargo and Product Tankers sectors, RINA and Telemar have partnered to build a new fleet digital operating centre in Rome, Italy.
