Crown Estate Scotland Joins Scapa Flow Deepwater Port Plan

The title of this post is the same as that of this article on Riviera Maritime Media.

This is the sub-heading.

Orkney Islands Council (OIC) and Crown Estate Scotland have signed an agreement to work together in developing a deepwater quay at Scapa Flow

The picture and the words, indicate it is not a small facility.

The final comment of Crown Estate Scotland’s director of marine Colin Palmer, are a strong statement of intent about how Crown Estate Scotland will help Scotland towards net-zero.

Lloyd’s Register Issues World’s First Rules For Hydrogen Fuel

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Hydrogen Central.

These are the first two paragraphs.

Lloyd’s Register issues world’s first rules for hydrogen fuel.

Liam Blackmore, Lead Specialist at Lloyd’s Register, is a busy man. He has led the technical policy writing of many of the class society’s decarbonisation rules. Horizons spoke to him in late April 2023, just a few weeks after LR had published the world’s first maritime rules covering hydrogen as a fuel.

This would appear to be a very sensible move by Lloyds Register, which sets down the rules for using hydrogen fuel on ships.

But surely, if you follow these rules, then you will able to get insurance for your ship.
