The notation comes with guidance to support shipowners, designers, and operators in selecting appropriate, best-practice mitigations based on the specific fire risk profile of a vessel.
The July 2025 update to LR’s Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Ships introduces the new notation as the first of its kind to apply the LR ShipRight Risk Based Certification (RBC) methodology to container ship fire safety.
This framework flexibly yet robustly identifies and validates tailored safety enhancements, from the design phase through to operational deployment.
