• an innovative conversion project, in which Lloyd's Register EMEA helped US owner Maritrans to convert its single-hull tankers to double-hull tankers in a cost-effective manner
• the latest regulations added to SOLAS, designed to improve bulk carrier safety
• the research carried out by Lloyd's Register into thermography and its application for condition monitoring onboard ships
