Decarbonisation will be driving the shipping sector for years to come, and RINA plays a proactive role in this evolution, bringing our multidisciplinary skills to the industry to build a sustainable future. We work with designers to verify compliance with the applicable rules of dual-fuel vessels and of novel concept designs incorporating new fuels such as hydrogen or ammonia, allowing for an increase in efficiency and performance which equates to fewer emissions. Our team also constantly performs scouting for innovative digital solutions to support ship owners and managers in facing the new challenges of their business.
