Wan Hai Selects ClassNK-NAPA GREEN Ship Efficiency Software

Leading classification society ClassNK and maritime software company NAPA have announced that Taiwan-based Wan Hai Lines Ltd has chosen ClassNK-NAPA GREEN ship efficiency software for use on WAN HAI 516, a 4680 TEU vessel delivered by CSBC in April 2013.

This marks the first time that the operational optimization and SEEMP (Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan) solution will be installed commercially on an existing vessel. The announcement was made at a signing ceremony attended by representatives from Wan Hai Lines, ClassNK, and NAPA held at Wan Hai Lines headquarters in Taipei, Taiwan on 7 May 2013.

The ClassNK-NAPA GREEN system is a new comprehensive software system developed by NAPA and ClassNK to help owners and operators reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions and smoothly comply with new IMO SEEMP requirements which entered into force at the beginning of 2013. While the new software is already in use as part of verification testing on a container vessel operated by Japan’s Shoei Kisen, this agreement with Wan Hai Lines marks the first commercial success for the system.
