1 October 2024 Underwater Radiated Noise Guide £180 This ICS/BIMCO guide enables shipping companies to align with the IMO’s 2023 underwater radiated noise guidelines and help preserve marine life. It explains:Sources of underwater radiated noise from shipsThe strong synergies between underwater radiated noise reduction and energy efficiency and the opportunities for co-benefitDesign and operational measures that are likely to reduce noise levelsHow to develop a noise management plan and put it into practiceAn example of a noise management plan is provided for shipowners to use as a functional template. Technical superintendents will find the included operational measures and in-depth discussion on the synergies between energy efficiency and underwater radiated noise reduction particularly valuable. Key information on all known Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas (PSSAs) and their regional slow-down regulations are detailed to aid ship officer’s when passage planning. Purchase here Share:
