UK-based marine and offshore solutions provider SRC Group’s retrofit methanol storage technology has received the go-ahead via an approval in principle (AiP) from Italy-based classification society RINA.

As disclosed, the approval in principle took account of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) interim safety guidelines as well as amendments to the International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-Flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code) to verify the group’s Methanol Superstorage’s compliance with both IMO requirements and class society rules.
