ClassNK has issued the first \u201cELW (HP)\u201d notation for a hydroponic vegetable grower installed in a vessel. ROYAL LAUREL, the bulk carrier owned by Tokei Kaiun Ltd., received the notation.<\/p>\n

This ship is currently the first in ClassNK\u2019s registration to earn the \u201cELW (HP)\u201d notation, signifying an important step toward improving sailors\u2019 living conditions.<\/p>\n

ClassNK\u2019s \u201cELW (HP)\u201d notation stands for \u201cExcellent Living and Working Environment (Hydroponics)\u201d. It is designed to recognize vessels that exceed the Maritime Labour Convention\u2019s (MLC, 2006) minimum standards to improve onboard living and working conditions.<\/p>\n

By exceeding regulatory requirements, the notation seeks to make the workplace more appealing to crew members, reduce fatigue, and contribute to the overall safety and well-being of maritime operations.<\/p>\n

HSN-KIKAI KOGYO CO., LTD. developed a hydroponic vegetable grower specifically built to function effectively in inclined environments on ships.<\/p>\n

This innovation allows crew members on ROYAL LAUREL to grow fresh veggies, which improves their daily nutrition and quality of life at sea.<\/p>\n

ClassNK\u2019s \u201cELW (HP)\u201d notation aims to promote innovative methods that enhance the onboard experience. The notation is applied to a ship\u2019s class certificate to show that it has been equipped with amenities and technologies that contribute to a better living and working environment.<\/p>\n

A ClassNK representative said the move is part of the organization\u2019s ongoing efforts to promote the maritime industry\u2019s initiatives to make ships more appealing workplaces.<\/p>\n

ClassNK thinks that by endorsing such improvements, it will contribute to the resolution of long-standing crew well-being and safety issues.<\/p>\n

In the future, ClassNK plans to continue supporting and encouraging projects aimed at improving maritime conditions through its \u201cExcellent Living and Working Environment\u201d standards.<\/p>\n
