Introduction

Germanischer Lloyd (GL) is your ideal partner in the classification
of container ships. We are entrusted to ensure the safety and
quality of over 40% of the worlds in-service container vessels
and over 35% of the worlds container vessels on order. At
GL, we believe that building this kind of trust has a lot to do
with leading through innovation.
We were the first classification society to publish container
stowage and lashing rules and to make global strength calcu-
lations an integral part of state-of-the-art constructionregulations. We were the first to conduct global FE analyses
with complex calculations of the stress and strain caused by
waves. Our technical proposals, such as the ideal arrangement
of double-bottom longitudinal girders, container pad supports,
and the design of hatch corners and bulkheads for reefer
storage, very often become shipyard standards.
Since the mid-1980s, GL has also played a leading role in the
design of ever larger and more efficient Panamax and post-
Panamax container vessels. We are now the class with the
largest number of approved ultra-large ships in our fleet, and
we led the way by being the first class to publish rules for
the use of high tensile steel of up to EH47, offering weight
reductions in ultra-large container vessels.
If you need even more reasons to look to GL, look no further
than our continuing focus on your vessels improved efficiency
and profitability. We introduced the concept of slow steaming
to improve operational efficiency within the container shipping
industry. We introduced ECO-Assistant, a tool to help container
vessels load and operate their vessels at optimum trim, improv-
ing efficiency and reducing emissions. The list goes on and on.
Container vessel safety, efficiency and performance this is
our focus. With 2,054 people in 75 countries, we are there toserve you where you need us. Come let us show you how.

Clients are beginning to realise
how much more we offer than
just simple classification. Getting
our experts involved in their
newbuilding projects at an early
stage leads to design and process
enhancements that translate into
greater competitiveness andprofitability.

GL is there when you need us, at every stage in the life-cycle
of your vessel, with holistic solutions to help you maximise
your return on investment. Here is how we can help.
Pre-design
Improving your concept At the earliest conceptual stage,
our experts are ready to consult with you to identify your
operating boundary requirements. Our engineers then putstate-of-the-art simulations to work to help you develop a
design concept that maximises your economic benefit.
Providing guidance We help direct your design focus to
where it is needed most. With feeder vessels, for example,
container width and height as well as storage flexibility
are the focus. With larger vessels, issues such as modern
stowage and lashing systems have a greater influence on
the layout.
Ensuring compliance Our expertise in hull lines optimi-
sation, practical ship speeds, maximising container capacity
and the use of alternative fuels can help you in meeting
the requirements of stringent new international regulations
such as the EEDI.
Design/Construction
Enhancing designs Our years of engineering experience
and our state-of-the-art simulation and analysis support
capabilities are easily integrated into the design process
of the yard to benefit you for example, through noise
and vibration behaviour analyses that ensure the onboard
comfort of your crew.
Eliminating problems Our pre-plan approval advisory
services assist you in finding and improving operational and
structural areas of concern.
Reducing delays Our extensive newbuilding surveyor net-
work ensures that we are everywhere that elements of your
newbuilding are produced. That goes for all materials and
components as well. Our survey processes are supported
by a unique IT system that combines the plan approval with
the survey process to reduce delays while ensure the highest
quality and safety for your ship.
Representing your interests GL appoints a single project
manager to coordinate your newbuilding project, and to actas a focal point between owner and shipyard for all matters
relating to class.
Operation
Simplifying tasks With fleet online, GLs online fleet
inspection management tool, we keep you up-to-date on the
location of your ships and on their inspection status, and
we make inspection scheduling as simple as a mouse click.
Increasing flexibility GL was the first class to introduce
extended periods between dry dockings. With GLs
Extended Dry Docking (EDD) programme, we improve yourscheduling flexibility while ensuring the highest levels of
quality and safety of your container vessel.
Boosting performance Our maritime software tools pro-
vide solutions that improve all aspects of your operations.
With ECO-Assistant your vessel is always in trim at any
loading condition. Our GL ShipManager helps you manage
key processes such as planned maintenance, purchasing
and stock control, and our GL HullManager supports the
complete visual hull inspection and assessment process
with a 3D model that makes localising problem areas a snap.

Pre-design
Ensuring compliance We help you ensure that your
design complies with all current and future international
regulations while meeting your design goals for a vessel
with the largest possible intact cargo and the best possibledeadweight, all at an economic building price.
Eliminating obstacles In the pre-contract phase, GL is
there for you with services such as technical exchange
meetings, technical seminars, training for technical calcula-
tion tools as well as Approval in Principal, all designed to
help you eliminate potential design-stage obstacles early on.
Finding solutions We work hand-in-hand with you to
find practical solutions:
for the new IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage
and Securing (CSS) Code
for identifying the best cargo hold ventilation layout for
reefer transportation to fulfil the requirements of RCP
Refrigerated Container Stowage Positions
for gaining the benefits of the new high tensile steel
EH-47, which reduces your welding efforts in the upper
hull girder
Optimising lines Fulfilling the future EEDI requirements
with optimised hull lines? We have the right tools and
services, allowing you to combine your design experience
with the state-of-the-art in simulation systems.
Design
Improving communications Our plan approval offices
are close to your yard or design office, supporting direct
communications. This means that our staff is familiar with
your yard and production facilities so that all remarks are
customised and suited to your premises.
Sharing knowledge As the market leader in container
vessels, GL has deep and integrated knowledge in all
aspects of container vessel design. We assist you with such
wide-ranging topics as identifying the pros and cons of
different layouts for medium voltage switchboard systems,
in finding the best location for distribution panels with
consideration of relevant protection requirements, and in
finding solutions for ventilation system and their structures.
Meeting your needs Open-top vessels is one of the
best solutions for fast container handling, especially in the
feeder market. But to design such a vessel requires a deep
understanding of current international conventions. GLis your knowledgeable and reliable partner, with experts
ready to help.
Leading the way GL was the first society to classify the
twin-island concept on large container vessels. And, as the
class with the largest number of MegaBoxer newbuildings,
we are deeply knowledgeable in all aspects of large vessel
design, such as how to integrate the fuel oil tanks into the
structure, and other topics that must be observed when
developing a reliable design.
Applying expertise With our pre- and post-processing
tools for generating finite element models, and with GLShipLoad for strength calculations on container ships,
you have access to one of the most advanced structural
loading analysis packages on the market. In addition, our
knowledge of seakeeping issues, including whipping and
springing effects and parametric rolling as they relate to
container ships, are second to none.
Construction
Accepting challenges Block fabrication with minimised
building tolerances requires the support of experienced
surveyors ready to help you adhere to strict ISO standards.
GLs surveyors have the experience and the know-how,
and are ready to master this challenge with you.
Ensuring quality No other ship type requires the same
large plate thicknesses, in the upper hull girder, over such a
large and continuous area. Mastery of the welding technology
required to deal with this is essential for reliable production.
That is where GL comes in. With our clear welding processes,
NDT, and welding certification serv ices, you are always on
the safe side.
