Introduction

Germanischer Lloyd (GL) is your ideal partner in the classification

of container ships. We are entrusted to ensure the safety and

quality of over 40% of the worlds in-service container vessels

and over 35% of the worlds container vessels on order. At

GL, we believe that building this kind of trust has a lot to do

with leading through innovation.

We were the first classification society to publish container

stowage and lashing rules and to make global strength calcu-

lations an integral part of state-of-the-art constructionregulations. We were the first to conduct global FE analyses

with complex calculations of the stress and strain caused by

waves. Our technical proposals, such as the ideal arrangement

of double-bottom longitudinal girders, container pad supports,

and the design of hatch corners and bulkheads for reefer

storage, very often become shipyard standards.

Since the mid-1980s, GL has also played a leading role in the

design of ever larger and more efficient Panamax and post-

Panamax container vessels. We are now the class with the

largest number of approved ultra-large ships in our fleet, and

we led the way by being the first class to publish rules for

the use of high tensile steel of up to EH47, offering weight

reductions in ultra-large container vessels.

If you need even more reasons to look to GL, look no further

than our continuing focus on your vessels improved efficiency

and profitability. We introduced the concept of slow steaming

to improve operational efficiency within the container shipping

industry. We introduced ECO-Assistant, a tool to help container

vessels load and operate their vessels at optimum trim, improv-

ing efficiency and reducing emissions. The list goes on and on.

Container vessel safety, efficiency and performance this is

our focus. With 2,054 people in 75 countries, we are there toserve you where you need us. Come let us show you how.

GL is there when you need us, at every stage in the life-cycle

of your vessel, with holistic solutions to help you maximise

your return on investment. Here is how we can help.

Pre-design

Improving your concept At the earliest conceptual stage,

our experts are ready to consult with you to identify your

operating boundary requirements. Our engineers then putstate-of-the-art simulations to work to help you develop a

design concept that maximises your economic benefit.

Providing guidance We help direct your design focus to

where it is needed most. With feeder vessels, for example,

container width and height as well as storage flexibility

are the focus. With larger vessels, issues such as modern

stowage and lashing systems have a greater influence on

the layout.

Ensuring compliance Our expertise in hull lines optimi-

sation, practical ship speeds, maximising container capacity

and the use of alternative fuels can help you in meeting

the requirements of stringent new international regulations

such as the EEDI.

Design/Construction

Enhancing designs Our years of engineering experience

and our state-of-the-art simulation and analysis support

capabilities are easily integrated into the design process

of the yard to benefit you for example, through noise

and vibration behaviour analyses that ensure the onboard

comfort of your crew.

Eliminating problems Our pre-plan approval advisory

services assist you in finding and improving operational and

structural areas of concern.

Reducing delays Our extensive newbuilding surveyor net-

work ensures that we are everywhere that elements of your

newbuilding are produced. That goes for all materials and

components as well. Our survey processes are supported

by a unique IT system that combines the plan approval with

the survey process to reduce delays while ensure the highest

quality and safety for your ship.

Representing your interests GL appoints a single project

manager to coordinate your newbuilding project, and to actas a focal point between owner and shipyard for all matters

relating to class.

Operation

Simplifying tasks With fleet online, GLs online fleet

inspection management tool, we keep you up-to-date on the

location of your ships and on their inspection status, and

we make inspection scheduling as simple as a mouse click.

Increasing flexibility GL was the first class to introduce

extended periods between dry dockings. With GLs

Extended Dry Docking (EDD) programme, we improve yourscheduling flexibility while ensuring the highest levels of

quality and safety of your container vessel.

Boosting performance Our maritime software tools pro-

vide solutions that improve all aspects of your operations.

With ECO-Assistant your vessel is always in trim at any

loading condition. Our GL ShipManager helps you manage

key processes such as planned maintenance, purchasing

and stock control, and our GL HullManager supports the

complete visual hull inspection and assessment process

with a 3D model that makes localising problem areas a snap.

Pre-design

Ensuring compliance We help you ensure that your

design complies with all current and future international

regulations while meeting your design goals for a vessel

with the largest possible intact cargo and the best possibledeadweight, all at an economic building price.

Eliminating obstacles In the pre-contract phase, GL is

there for you with services such as technical exchange

meetings, technical seminars, training for technical calcula-

tion tools as well as Approval in Principal, all designed to

help you eliminate potential design-stage obstacles early on.

Finding solutions We work hand-in-hand with you to

find practical solutions:

for the new IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage

and Securing (CSS) Code

for identifying the best cargo hold ventilation layout for

reefer transportation to fulfil the requirements of RCP

Refrigerated Container Stowage Positions

for gaining the benefits of the new high tensile steel

EH-47, which reduces your welding efforts in the upper

hull girder

Optimising lines Fulfilling the future EEDI requirements

with optimised hull lines? We have the right tools and

services, allowing you to combine your design experience

with the state-of-the-art in simulation systems.

Design

Improving communications Our plan approval offices

are close to your yard or design office, supporting direct

communications. This means that our staff is familiar with

your yard and production facilities so that all remarks are

customised and suited to your premises.

Sharing knowledge As the market leader in container

vessels, GL has deep and integrated knowledge in all

aspects of container vessel design. We assist you with such

wide-ranging topics as identifying the pros and cons of

different layouts for medium voltage switchboard systems,

in finding the best location for distribution panels with

consideration of relevant protection requirements, and in

finding solutions for ventilation system and their structures.

Meeting your needs Open-top vessels is one of the

best solutions for fast container handling, especially in the

feeder market. But to design such a vessel requires a deep

understanding of current international conventions. GLis your knowledgeable and reliable partner, with experts

ready to help.

Leading the way GL was the first society to classify the

twin-island concept on large container vessels. And, as the

class with the largest number of MegaBoxer newbuildings,

we are deeply knowledgeable in all aspects of large vessel

design, such as how to integrate the fuel oil tanks into the

structure, and other topics that must be observed when

developing a reliable design.

Applying expertise With our pre- and post-processing

tools for generating finite element models, and with GLShipLoad for strength calculations on container ships,

you have access to one of the most advanced structural

loading analysis packages on the market. In addition, our

knowledge of seakeeping issues, including whipping and

springing effects and parametric rolling as they relate to

container ships, are second to none.

Construction

Accepting challenges Block fabrication with minimised

building tolerances requires the support of experienced

surveyors ready to help you adhere to strict ISO standards.

GLs surveyors have the experience and the know-how,

and are ready to master this challenge with you.

Ensuring quality No other ship type requires the same

large plate thicknesses, in the upper hull girder, over such a

large and continuous area. Mastery of the welding technology

required to deal with this is essential for reliable production.

That is where GL comes in. With our clear welding processes,

NDT, and welding certification serv ices, you are always on

the safe side.
