While the discussion for the compulsory application of the new concept shipbuilding standard of the Goal-Based Standards (GBS) ended successfully at the 87th Meeting of the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC87) under the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in London, UK, a guideline was drawn reflecting the argument from Japan to protect the intellectual properties of the shipyards.

The GBS will be applied to the bulkers and tankers with the length of more than 150m, which will be constructed according to the contract entered into from July 1st, 2016.

As such a condition becomes compulsory, it will be also necessary to keep the SCF, the data related to the hull structure, safely on board or on land.

However, there is a strong argument in the Japanese shipbuilding industry that the information included in the SCF can lead to the leakage of the intellectual properties of the shipyards.

Therefore, a guideline has been completed to provide the proper information and protect the intellectual properties at the same time.

Meanwhile, in the MSC87 meeting, a guideline for verification has also been selected together with the GBS.

Such an action reflects the demand for the process of verifying the GBS suitably according to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).

Secretary-General Mitropoulos of IMO said that the designers, engineers and builders in the shipbuilding industry were to be provided with freedom to apply their technical skills suitably according to the regulations by adopting the new-concept shipbuilding standard.
