The Zero Emission Shipping Mission recently invited industry stakeholders to participate in the Safety of Crew in Low/Zero Emission Ships (SCILZ) project about crew training and safety for seafarers working on vessels using ammonia, methanol and hydrogen as propulsion.
“Crew safety is a key theme when considering transitioning to vessels fueled by alternative fuels,” it said in a social media post.
The project seeks to contribute to knowledge exchange on existing and planned procedures for ensuring crew safety and facilitating crew training on vessels using alternative bunker fuels, with the aim to support first-movers by highlighting the early industry experiences and insights on how to ensure the safety of the seafarers.
“The objective of the project is to showcase existing and planned procedures for crew training and safety for seafarers using ammonia, methanol and hydrogen as propulsion, and contribute to knowledge sharing among industry stakeholders. The procedures could cover crew training, general operation and bunkering,” it added.
Participants are expected to:
- Participate in one to three workshops with the aim to share plans and experiences, and
- To provide their own existing and planned procedures for crew training and safety on alternative fueled vessels.
Note: Those interested in participating in the project can contact Mira Bergem at [email protected] by 9 November.
