01APR2019 - NEWS - Classification society Lloyd’s Register releases new noise notation to meet increasing demand for noise control from ships in port

Classification society Lloyd’s Register has recently released a new noise notation to meet the increasing demand for noise control from ships in port. LR describes the new notation as defining a set of limit levels for airborne noise emissions, enabling ports to better monitor overall noise levels from ship calls. The notation will assist ports in determining which and how many ships can access noise sensitive areas, such as ports in city centers, near residential areas, or natural sanctuaries. The new notation defines five limit levels for the airborne noise emission from super quiet to standard. The notation also describes how the compliance can be ensured at design stage by giving examples of how to calculate the expected noise levels.
