Our User Group R&D projects 

As a leading Classification society, Bureau Veritas’ Research & Development (R&D) network has touchpoints across the marine and offshore industry and other sectors. Through this network we participate in IACS research projects, R&D forums, user groups, and more.

The network projects we lead or join span a range of pressing issues for the maritime industry. These include the structural integrity and mooring of marine and offshore assets, while also investigating digital solutions and facilitating decarbonization.

LIFELINE  

#UserGroups #Offshore
The LifeLine Group follows on from a JIP to support the practical application of the outcome technology in the field. An onboard software can provide real-time feedback on the health of FPSO mooring lines and thus help extend their use.In phase 2 of the LifeLine Group project an Approval In Principle (AIP) will be obtained from BV. Also the need of a LifeLine system for floating wind turbines will be investigated.
