BV-Hydrogen Fuelled Ship's -NR678-November 2023. Bureau Veritas (BV), a world leader in testing, inspection and certification, has launched its first classification Rules for hydrogen-fuelled ships (NR678) to support the safe development of hydrogen propulsion in the maritime sector.
The rules outline technical requirements for the safe bunkering, storage, preparation, distribution, and use of hydrogen as fuel for power generation on board. Monitoring and control systems are also covered, addressing specific safety challenges relating to the transport and use of hydrogen on ships, such as high flammability, as well as the need to store the fuel in very high pressure or low-temperature conditions.

In recent years, the maritime industry has turned its gaze towards biofuels as a viable solution for reducing carbon impact, driven by the imperative to decarbonize the global fleet.
Positioned as one of the limited choices for decarbonizing the deep-sea sector of the global fleet, biofuels necessitate a thorough understanding of their potential risks and hazards prior to a widespread adoption.#EMSA #Bunkering #Biofuels #Safety

Bunker hose damaged during connection What happened
During offshore bunkering operations, the bunker hose was damaged when it was stretched. A vessel passed the bunker hose to the supply vessel using the crane. The crew of the supply vessel received the bunker hose and tied it off. The crew then noticed possible damage to the bunker hose. The hose was returned and upon inspection it was seen that the outer layer of the bunker hose was damaged. Bunkering was cancelled. The potential further consequences were a possible spill to the environment and delay in operations.#IMCA #Bunkering #HoseDamaged

MPA Announces Updated Standardfor Bunker Mass Flow Metering MPA stated that the implementation of the updated bunker mass flow metering standard would be mandatory from 1 April 2025.The SS 648: 2024 is divided into two parts for ease of operational use. Part one covers pre-approval processes such as meter selection, acceptance tests. Part two covers post-approval processes such as health, safety and environment requirements. In addition it covers metrological requirements, system integrity requirements and metering procedures. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) stated that the implementation of the updated bunker mass flow metering standard would be mandatory from 1 April 2025.#MPA #Singapore #Bunkering
