First DNV Smart notation for offshore unit

The voluntary notation, awarded to SHEN LAN TAN SUO, provides a framework for assessing and visualising digital vessel features and shows that a vessel is using enhancements that improve operations and efficiency as well as reducing environmental impacts.

Digitalisation and intellectualisation are general trends in technological development, says Mei Xianzhi, general manager of CMHI (Jiangsu). “Digital transformation is one of the development strategies for CMHI and we are committed to building the internal industry chain of ship repair and ship construction through smart operation and maintenance, while adding value to end users with services supporting the life cycle of ships,” he said.

The Smart notation demonstrates that the data collection infrastructure of the CM-SD1000 medium and deep-water drilling rig, and its ability to ensure reliable data collection from multiple systems on board 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 recognises solutions that improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.
