The Maritime Technologies Forum (MTF) has released a report focusing on guidelines and safety considerations for the development of liquefied hydrogen bunkering systems in the maritime sector. With a goal to bridge technological progress and regulatory processes, the report addresses the adoption of hydrogen as a zero-emission fuel for ships in line with the IMO's emissions reduction strategy. While acknowledging the lack of experience in handling hydrogen in the maritime industry, the report emphasizes the need for stringent safety measures due to the higher risks associated with hydrogen as a fuel compared to LNG. The MTF report outlines key observations, including the complexities of bunkering hydrogen for ships, the unique properties of liquefied hydrogen, and the necessity for vessel-specific procedures and crew training. The absence of international standards for hydrogen bunkering underscores the importance of these guidelines. Industry leaders, including the Norwegian Maritime Authority and DNV Maritime, highlight the vital role of standards in ensuring safe bunkering operations and advancing the use of hydrogen as a marine fuel and cargo. The report also mentions the experience gained from the MF Hydra, the world's first liquid hydrogen-powered ferry, operated by Norled. This vessel, which has already reduced carbon emissions significantly, serves as a reference point for developing guidelines and recommendations for safe hydrogen bunkering practices. Overall, the report signals a positive step towards enhancing safety and efficiency in hydrogen bunkering operations for a more sustainable maritime industry.
