On December 6 2017, MAN Diesel & Turbo signed a Framework Agreement for Technical Cooperation with the China Classification Society (CCS) during Marintec China 2017, the company said in its press release.
The Agreement provides for the strengthening of the cooperation between the two companies in the fields of ship design, ship-type research & development, ship power, ship automation, environmental protection, intelligent ship and battery solutions.
The Agreement is a renewal agreement under the Framework Agreement for Technical Cooperation signed by both parties back in 2013. MAN Diesel & Turbo and CCS have since strengthened their cooperation within the above-mentioned fields.
In April 2015, CCS awarded MAN Diesel & Turbo’s entire four-stroke engine portfolio the world’s first SCR IMO Tier III Approval in Principle, which represented an important milestone in their collaboration.
