The Korean public-private partnership comprising 10 maritime organizations has successfully developed a proposal for international safety guidelines for onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) systems, which has been selected as the base document for further development by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The partnership, led by Korea's Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, includes notable members such as Korea’s Register (KR), HMM, Samsung Heavy Industries, and Hanwha Ocean.
The proposal incorporates elements from a separate proposal by the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS). At the IMO's 12th session of the Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers, the working group agreed to use the Korean partnership's proposal as the foundation for developing interim OCCS safety guidelines.
The guidelines will address the safe integration of OCCS equipment with a vessel's structure, layout, and machinery systems.
