ClassNK has granted its Remote Survey (RMSV) notation for a pure car carrier operated by Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) and managed by MOL Ship Management (MOLSHIP).
The ORCA ACE is the first vessel on ClassNK’s registry to be marked with RMSV notation.
To provide proper guidance for remote surveys using ICT, ClassNK published its Guidelines for Remote Surveys (Vers 2.0) in January 2021 which incorporates outcomes of investigations into presenting transparent standards for remote survey application and ensuring reliability equivalent to conventional witness surveys.
In Vers 2.0, ClassNK made a revision to include class notation requirements for ships with advance preparation for remote surveys such as procedures for crew members.
