Ecosystemic knowledge in Standards for Hydrogen Implementation on Passenger Ship

Project description

Hydrogen is the next big wave in the maritime sector

In recent years, research has revealed the potential benefits of the hydrogen fuel cell market for the maritime sector. However, the current approach to hydrogen vessel design lacks a clear and dedicated normative framework and early-stage management of risks. The EU-funded e-SHyIPS project will connect hydrogen and maritime sectors with international-level experts. They will conduct a regulatory framework review and assess experimental data on ship design, safety systems, material and components, and bunkering procedures. The project will formulate a pre-standardisation plan for an updated IGF Code for hydrogen-fuel passenger ships and a roadmap to promote the hydrogen economy in the maritime ecosystem.

Objective

"Hydrogen fuel cells market potentials in the maritime sector have been demonstrated in the last years with several vessels flagship projects. Despite hydrogen is a worldwide considered a valid option to reach the emission reduction targets, also part of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) strategy, a regulatory framework applicable to hydrogen fuelled ships is not yet available. E-SHyIPS brings together the Hydrogen and maritime stakeholders and international experts, through an Advisory Board, to gather new knowledge based on regulatory framework review and experimental data on ship design, safety systems, material and components and bunkering procedures. The approach is ""vessel independent"", in order to avoid the burdens of customized projects, and is focused on the risk and safety assessment methodologies. Based on this, e-SHyIPS will define a pre-standardization plan for IGF code update for the hydrogen-based fuels passenger ships and a roadmap for the boost of Hydrogen economy in the maritime sector."
