The maritime sector is actively working towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions by designing new vessels or converting existing ones to run on e-fuels like methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen. However, the current standards and guidelines for fire safety are inadequate for vessels using these alternative fuels, creating challenges in ensuring crew, passenger, and cargo safety during the green transition. To address this issue, the Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology (DBI) in collaboration with Shipping Lab is developing the METAFUEL project. This project aims to create a tool that can design fire strategies for any vessel configuration, whether new builds or retrofits, to effectively handle the risks associated with green fuels. Carsten Møller, a Business Development Specialist at DBI, highlights the need for a flexible and adaptable tool to manage the new reality of green fuels and make the green transition feasible for all shipping companies. METAFUEL focuses on enhancing both crew safety and technology aspects related to handling methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen. The project will address challenges such as selecting safety equipment for multiple scenarios and determining the most effective fire prevention methods in engine rooms. By bridging the gap between regulations and practical implementation, METAFUEL aims to streamline fire safety protocols and ensure compliance with the evolving maritime standards. ShippingLab has recognized the significance of the METAFUEL project in advancing the green transition in the maritime sector. Magnus Gary, Project Director at ShippingLab, emphasizes the importance of eliminating uncertainties regarding fire safety regulations when using green fuels like ammonia. The project's approach of developing a method to create tailored fire strategies for any vessel configuration is deemed essential in avoiding overregulation and unnecessary expenses. METAFUEL plans to test its fire strategy tool practically on various vessels, ranging from ferries using methanol to Ro-Ro vessels powered by ammonia, with a vision to establish a standardized global method for documenting fire strategies in vessels operating on green fuels. The project managers, Carsten Møller and Mads Ragnwald Nielsen, envision the long-term impact of METAFUEL in revolutionizing fire safety practices in the maritime industry.
