Alternative Fuels and Safety – More Than Simple Solutions

Why is safety a consideration as green and dual fuels emerge?

How can we ensure that our fire safety strategies cover both technical and human elements?

Carsten Møller, Senior Business Developer from DBI – The Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology – explored why innovative fire strategies are necessary given the rise of novel fuels and ship designs. With the introduction of new, alternative fuels comes an array of new risks and fire scenarios. This suggests that the current SOLAS-approved equipment and established strategies may no longer suffice. Already, a variety of solutions are appearing for fuel mixtures and diverse ship designs, indicating that a 'one size fits all' approach to fire safety is impractical.

At its heart, it's all about people – their actions, involvement, communication, prejudices, decision-making, and perception of safety – from the designers to the operators. All these elements need to be factored into fire strategies.

Watch this 15+15 to get a comprehensive overview and a path forward, ensuring fire safety does not hinder the vital green transition.
