On the identification of regulatory gaps for hydrogen as maritime fuel
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents the results of the EU project e-SHyIPS over the identification of gaps in the International Code of Safety for Ship Using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF code) with relation to hydrogen as fuel. The gap assessment procedure was performed in a series of dedicated workshops involving all e-SHyIPS partners. The workshops were structured according to the code chapters, and a bottom-up approach was followed to review the code content and assess its relevance to hydrogen. The risks related to hydrogen were accounted for in assessing the gaps and providing a first level set of recommendations for code updates. By this means, this work settles the basis for further research over the identified gaps, towards the identification of a final set of recommendations for the IGF code update.
