TRIPARTITE 2022 held at KR
27 Dec. 2022
KR co-hosted the Tripartite 2022 meeting which was organized by BIMCO from 1 to 2 December 2022.
The Tripartite meeting has been held annually as a meeting body for technical consultation among classification societies, shipyards, and shipowners. The meeting is organized by the shipowner’s associations (BIMCO, ICS, INTERCARGO, and INTERTANKO), co-hosted by the Asian classification societies (KR, NK, and CCS) and Asian ship-builder associations (KOSHIPA, SAJ, and CANSI), by rotation. In addition, the meeting is held in the appropriate venue in one of the Asian classification society nations.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, Tripartite 2022 has been decided to be held virtually while Aron Frank Sørensen from BIMCO, the organizer of this meeting, visited KR headquarters to lead the meeting effectively by communicating with KR.
Approximately 100 maritime stakeholders participated in discussions on the decarbonization of shipping, power and fuels, grey water, digitalization and software, environment issues, and safety items. In particular, 20 experts from each sector delivered a presentation of the latest issues to share in-depth knowledge and expertise in order to gain a better understanding of the shipping industry and shipbuilding industries, with a focus on new technologies, higher degrees of automation and digitalization as well as human -centric design.
Mr. KIM Yeontae, Executive Vice President of the Technical Division of KR, served as the session moderator of Session 7 Safety items. Mr. YE Sungwon, Senior Surveyor of the Environment & Piping Team, delivered the presentation on the subject of fire safety for electric vehicles on board ships: A case study of a PCTC in Session 7 Safety items and Dr. AHN Jongwoo, Senior Surveyor of the Cyber Certification Team gave an address on the subjects of IACS UR E26, UR E27, UR E22, Rec 171, PT on Data Quality and PT on E26/27 Survey in Session 5 Digitalization and software, deeply impressing the attendees.
KIM emphasized, “Even though the industry is currently focusing on decarbonization and digitalization and accepting various technologies and changing rapidly, we must never forget that safety is our top priority at anytime.”
Aron Frank Sørensen said, “In an era of uncertainty due to increasing regulations and the necessity for new fuels as the industry accelerates towards decarbonization, industry collaboration is more important than ever. I am grateful to KR for generously supporting the meeting so that the meeting can proceed smoothly.”
The upcoming Tripartite 2023 is planned to take place in Japan. The meeting will be organized by INTERCARGO and co-hosted by ClassNK and SAJ. Please contact KR International Affairs Team with questions regarding Tripartite and participation in the meeting.
