Alternative Fuels is becoming a reality. How do how we deal with some of the hands-on issues coming up rapidly?
Addressing the hands-on issues related to the adoption of alternative fuels in ships requires a multi-faceted approach involving infrastructure development, technological adaptation, safety measures, regulatory compliance, research and development, economic considerations and collaborative efforts. By addressing these challenges collectively, the maritime industry can better successfully navigate the transition toward greener and more sustainable shipping practices.

Ammonia and methanol in the marine space is already a reality. How do we deal with the hands-on issues coming up? by Anders C. Erlandsson, Professor and Sustainable Propulsion & Decarbonization, DTU Maritime
Fuels for ships are part of the green transition with focus on amongst others combustion, emissions, storage and transport of fuels. How could we deal with hands-on issues coming up, including combustion, emissions and the bunkering facilities- and transport supply chains? Part of Anders’ research deals with the techno-economic energy-system models directly applicable to the maritime industry.

Competence needs in the future within alternative fuels, by Niels Tingleff Haastrup, associate professor, Fredericia Maskinmesterskole, Chief Officer, Molslinjen, and Anne Panknin Kristensen, educational manager, Danish Shipping
Alternative fuel competence needs in the future will be different than today. The maritime industry and their educational institutions recognize that education and training is required to mitigate the risks with new fuel. But it can be difficult to pin-point where. Which products can educational institutions develop, seen from the perspective of a shipping company? And is it specific to each alternative fuel type, including safety protocols, fuel handling procedures, and maintenance requirements? Let’s listen and let’s discuss!

Tackling ammonia’s safety challenges by Christian Schack, Director Business Development Director at American Bureau of Shipping (ABS)
In a pioneering safety development, ABS is using advanced modeling and simulation technologies to develop emergency response methods to assist ports and crew in responding to ammonia leaks or spills. In addition to dispersion analysis, discrete event simulations can be performed to study the response of crew, port authorities, and emergency services after dispersion. Where is this going, and can fundamental, computational CFD be leveraged into something the world needs right now?
