A joint industry report has emphasized the necessity of revising seafarer training standards to facilitate the safe adoption of ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen as alternative fuels in the maritime sector. The Maritime Just Transition Taskforce, established by maritime unions and employers during COP26, conducted workshops to assess the challenges associated with transitioning to zero and near-zero greenhouse gas emission fuels. The report underlined the lack of specific guidelines and competency levels within current training standards to address the unique risks posed by these green fuels. Concerns were raised regarding the toxicity of ammonia, flammability of methanol, and other safety measures required for handling these substances. The project spearheaded by the MJTTF aims to create detailed competency standards and training programs to equip seafarers with the necessary skills for utilizing ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen safely aboard ships. Natassa Kouvertari, from the Lloyd’s Register Decarbonisation Hub, highlighted the industry's collective effort to establish adequate human competencies and training protocols for the effective implementation of green fuels in the maritime sector.
