New GL rules for underwater technology set the technological standard for diving systems and simulators, manned submersibles and unmanned and underwater working machines. Especially the oil and gas industry is set to meet the technical challenges of exploitation in great water depths.
New maximum sulphur oxides and particulate matter regulations apply starting from January 1, 2010 in European territorial waters. GL has issued a guidance on maintaining engine and boiler safety when using Low Sulphur Distillate Oils (LSDO) to assist shipoperators to fulfil legal and operational requirements for safe passages.
