Lloyd's Register launches industry-first framework for digital 3D model approval. N ew Guidance Notes give shipyards and designers a practical route to use intelligent 3D models during class approval Lloyd's Register (LR) has published what it believes is the maritime industry's first dedicated guidance for using digital 3D models in support of classification approval, marking a significant step towards digital-first ship design and review processes. The new LR-GN-066 Guidance Notes for Digital 3D Models provide shipyards, designers and owners with a practical and structured framework for using intelligent 3D models in lieu of traditional 2D plans during the early stages of structural plan approval. The publication reflects the growing use of digital design environments in modern shipbuilding, with 3D models becoming the primary source of engineering information across design, construction and manufacturing workflows. While standards for 2D shipbuilding plans are well established, comparable guidance for the use of 3D models in classification approval has been largely absent. LR's new Guidance Notes aim to bridge that gap, helping clients make greater use of digital assets they already create and maintain throughout a vessel's lifecycle. The guidance sets out how 3D models can be used to support the structural plan approval process and defines the characteristics such models should possess. It covers file formats, model organisation, metadata requirements, levels of structural detail, revision control and submission requirements, providing a consistent framework for both designers and class reviewers. For shipyards and design offices already working in 3D environments, the Guidance Notes provide a clearer route for integrating those models into the approval process. Rather than creating additional digital assets solely for class review, the framework encourages the use of models that are already embedded within established design and manufacturing workflows, helping to reduce duplication and improve consistency between design, production and approval activities. LR-GN-066 Guidance Notes for Digital 3D Models applies primarily to hull structures and is intended to support the use of 3D digital models during the structural plan approval process. The framework may also be extended to other disciplines that use similar digital assets. The guidance is intended for voluntary use by shipyards and design offices seeking to use 3D models in the initial stages of approval. Final approved 2D construction plans remain a requirement for formal completion of the classification plan approval process. Use of the Guidance Notes is voluntary and non-prescriptive. Whilst the framework is intended to be applicable across a variety of software ecosystems, LR recognises that shipyards, designers and software providers may develop alternative methods, workflows and technologies capable of delivering equivalent or enhanced outcomes. As maritime digitalisation advances, LR will continue to collaborate with shipyards, designers and software providers to test and adopt new digital approaches that improve the approval process while maintaining confidence in safety, quality and compliance. João Estevens, Senior Specialist, Lloyd's Register, said: "For many projects, the most complete representation of a vessel now exists in a digital model. By defining what information should be included, how it should be structured and how it can be reviewed, we are giving clients greater clarity on how to use those digital assets to support class approval and maximise the value of the work they are already doing." The publication forms part of LR's work to support maritime digitalisation and gives shipyards and designers a clearer pathway to align classification activities with modern design and manufacturing practices. Models submitted under the framework can also be reviewed and managed through LR's Digital Workbench platform. The new Guidance Notes have been published as LR-GN-066 Guidance Notes for Digital 3D Models, July 2026 and are available through Regs4ships. Source: Lloyd's Register

Demand spills over; shipping industry rushes to profit from AI * 2026.07.28 * 03:00 * Commercial Times, Qiu Liling The shipping industry is fully cashing in on the AI boom. Since the start of the year, shipping companies have moved from hauling materials and equipment for AI data center infrastructure, to planning to convert second-hand ships into floating AI data centers, and shipyards actively developing new products for AI offshore computing infrastructure. They are bullish on AI data center demand spilling over from land to sea. Domestic freight forwarders, citing a U.S. Commerce Department report, noted that in May and June, ahead of the expiration of the U.S. temporary tariff 122, there was a surge in imports of semiconductors, computer parts, industrial generators, and other goods. In the past, the peak season for maritime shipping on U.S. routes was dominated by consumer goods imports, accounting for about 65% to 75%. This year, that share is estimated to drop to 55% to 60%. In contrast, cargo volumes of capital goods have grown by at least 10%, with their share rising to an estimated 20% to 25%. Industrial raw materials, components, and consumables are expected to increase to 15% to 20%, reflecting the ongoing demand for computing center construction in the U.S. The AI boom has spurred massive growth in data centers, which are currently mainly built on land, relying on land, power grids, and cooling systems for operation. However, with the rapid growth in demand for large AI models and high-performance computing, the AI industries in the U.S., Japan, and other countries are facing challenges such as acquiring land, electricity, and cooling systems, as well as high costs. U.S. and Japanese shipping companies and shipyards are actively planning to build AI infrastructure at sea. Domestic shipyards like CSBC and shipping companies are continuously evaluating market conditions. Japanese shipping giant MOL, in collaboration with Hitachi and Hitachi Systems, is converting a second-hand ship into a floating AI data center at sea, targeting the data infrastructure demand sparked by AI. The company plans to advance into markets in Japan, the U.S., and Malaysia. Shipping companies noted that old ships were previously mostly scrapped, converted for offshore use, or transferred to low-end, hazardous markets. If they can be converted into floating AI data centers, especially ships with large deck areas, ample hull space, and conditions for power distribution, fire protection, and cooling systems, they can achieve a new value reassessment. For example, Samsung Heavy Industries, Lloyd's Register, and Greek shipping company Capital Clean Energy Carriers are collaborating to develop an AI floating data center product, a new type of offshore asset. CSBC said that if the offshore business model proves feasible, shipyard orders in the future could expand to include AI infrastructure, floating power ships, and other offshore and high-end vessel manufacturing. As this involves international certification, insurance, etc., domestic shipping companies tend to cooperate with international players.
Lloyd's Register to create strategic global operating model for ArcelorMittal's dry bulk terminals. Published by Alfie Lloyd-Perks, Assistant Editor Dry Bulk, Monday, 27 July 2026 08:35 The collaboration will create a strategic, auditable and scalable operating model to strengthen safety, reliability, governance, ESG performance, resilience and long-term value across ArcelorMittal's global dry bulk terminal network. Lloyd's Register (LR) is collaborating with ArcelorMittal to create a Global Operating Model that sets a consistent group-wide standard for dry bulk terminal operations across its international port portfolio. The initiative will establish a common operating baseline for ArcelorMittal Global Ports' network across different continents, regulatory environments and operating cultures. It aims to reduce variability, strengthen safety and reliability, improve portfolio-level visibility, reinforce ESG, biodiversity and sustainability practices, and support disciplined digital implementation. LR will design a practical framework for terminals with varying asset ages, operating maturity and local practices. The Global Operating Model will combine a controlled Operations Manual, structured SOP library, checklist-based controls, and self-audit and assurance tools focused on shift execution, evidence capture, measurable compliance, and continuous improvement. The documentation will also embed environmental stewardship, biodiversity, emissions and resource-efficiency awareness, responsible waste and runoff management, community and stakeholder interfaces, and clear evidence requirements for governance, assurance, and future reporting. The model is intended to move ArcelorMittal's portfolio beyond site-by-site standardisation towards a group-level performance, governance and control system. It will enable common KPI definitions, consistent reporting, cross-terminal benchmarking, clear escalation logic and structured improvement planning. Daniel Campos, Global Lead of Ports Advisory, Lloyd's Register, said: "Our focus is on creating an operating system that is practical, verifiable and scalable. The model is designed to give ArcelorMittal a repeatable way of running high-standard terminal operations across its global network, while enabling a clear pathway towards digital portfolio control, performance visibility and assurance." George Georgandis, Senior Business Development Manager, Lloyd's Register, added: "Early engagement with ArcelorMittal at a critical point in its Global Ports infrastructure evolution has allowed LR Ports Advisory to jointly shape a strategic operating model that supports safer execution, greater efficiency, ESG-aligned governance and long-term performance across port assets." Deepak Sachdeva, Head of Global Ports at ArcelorMittal, said: "Its terminals operate across very different geographies, regulatory environments and maturity levels, which makes consistency, comparability and disciplined execution essential. "Establishing a Global Operating Model will help Dry Bulk Magazine raise safety and reliability standards across its portfolio, strengthen governance, auditability and insurance defensibility, and ensure that ESG and sustainability requirements are embedded into its operating documents, frontline controls, assurance templates and evidence-based management processes from the outset. "This will give us a practical platform to manage performance, risk and long-term value creation with greater transparency and discipline across the global ports portfolio." The collaboration will create a replicable blueprint for organisations that own, operate, or manage multi-site port and logistics assets worldwide, helping embed consistent execution, ESG and sustainability controls, and reliable operational data to support safety, performance, assurance, and strategic decision-making.
