DNV awards world-first Smart notation to CMHI’s offshore rig
A semi-submersible drilling platform from China Merchant Heavy Industry (CMHI), SHEN LAN TAN SUO, has become the world’s first offshore unit to receive DNV’s Smart notation compliance certificate, according to the company's release. The voluntary Smart vessel notation from DNV, provides a framework for assessing and visualizing digital vessel features and shows that a vessel is utilizing enhancements that improve operations, efficiency, and reduced environmental impacts.
DNV Maritime’s Regional Manager for Greater China, Norbert Kray, presented DNV’s Smart notation compliance certificate for the CM-SD1000 medium and deep-water drilling rig to Mei Xianzhi, General Manager of China Merchant Heavy Industry (Jiangsu), in a ceremony held at DNV’s regional headquarters in Shanghai on 10 March 2021.
The Smart notation demonstrates that the data collection infrastructure of SHEN LAN TAN SUO, and its ability to ensure reliable and safe data collection from multiple systems onboard has been subject to quality assurance from an independent third party. The rig has also been awarded the qualifiers D-INF(P) for data-driven verification processes, and EEN, which recognizes solutions that provide improved energyefficiency and reduced harmful emissions, focusing on technologies that are considered cost, energy and emission-efficient for the operation of the vessel.
