American Bureau of Shipping has announced its contribution to the development of the report titled “Safety of Ammonia for Use in Ships,” published by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA).
This extensive study is part of a larger project that encompasses reliability analysis and risk assessments of various ammonia-fuelled vessel designs, ultimately leading to the formulation of guidance for ships utilising ammonia as fuel.
The initial phase of this project is crucial for understanding the inherent challenges of ammonia, its effects on vessels and crew, the current status of regulatory framework development, and the gaps that need to be addressed to facilitate the adoption of ammonia as a marine fuel.
ABS is proud to collaborate with EMSA on a series of studies focused on alternative fuels and energy sources, which aim to pave the way for a safe and sustainable future. The report “Safety of Ammonia for Use in Ships” can be downloaded here: https://lnkd.in/g_dX5w5y.
