E-SHyIPS

Narrative description of the project:

The market potential of hydrogen fuel cells in the maritime sector has been demonstrated in recent years with several ship projects. However, there is still no regulatory framework applicable to hydrogen-fueled ships. E-SHyIPS brings together stakeholders from the maritime and hydrogen sector, as well as international experts, to gather new knowledge based on the revised regulatory framework and experimental data on ship design, safety systems, materials and components, and bunkering procedures. The approach is “ship independent”, to avoid the burdens of customized projects, and focuses on risk and safety assessment methodologies. On this basis, e-SHyIPS will define a pre-standardization plan for updating the IGF code for passenger ships with hydrogen-based fuels and a roadmap for boosting the hydrogen economy in the maritime sector.

GHENOVA’s Scope of Work:

GHENOVA coordinates and develops the Engineering, Safety and Systems activities for the particular experiments and the overall ship design. This methodology employs specialized knowledge and skills in the application of scientific engineering principles, criteria and techniques to identify hazards and then eliminate hazards or reduce associated risks when hazards cannot be eliminated. Define safety requirements for the design, taking into account potential hazards, verification and validation of effective mitigation and acceptance of residual risk.

Vessel safety systems for ventilation, gas detection and fire detection of fuel stacks on board shall be defined according to…?
