ABS Guide for Gas and Other Low-Flashpoint Fuel Ready Vessels 2024-Aug
Year: 2024 Language: English Author: ABS Genre: Guide Edition: August,2024 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 16 Description: Due to increasingly stricter environmental regulations limiting air pollution from ships, together with the commitment and ambition from IMO to reduce GHG emissions from shipping, the use of LNG, methanol, ethane, LPG, hydrogen, ammonia and other gases or low-flashpoint fuels, in place of conventional residual or distillate marine fuels, is expected to become more widely adopted in the future. In anticipation of this trend, the marine industry is looking for ways to provide flexibility and capability in vessel designs to enable a future conversion to such alternative fuels. The ability to convert to alternative fuels provides the flexibility to limit the initial investment while maintaining the option to select gases or other low flashpoint fuels in the future. This arrangement may be generically known as “Alternative Fuel Ready”. The scope of such preparation or modifications can significantly differ from ship to ship, and therefore, needs to be agreed upon between the shipowner and the shipbuilder on a case-by-case basis. It is important to note that the international regulations pertaining to gas or other low flashpoint fueled ships, other than those covered by the IGC Code, are those included in the IMO International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low Flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code), which entered into force on January 2017. This Guide for Gas and Other Low-Flashpoint Fuel Ready Vessels has been developed for application to ships covered by the IGF Code, however ABS will consider application of the “Alternative Fuel Ready” program and notations of this Guide to ships falling under the scope of the IGC Code on a case-by-case basis, provided such proposals are arranged in accordance with the requirements of the IGC Code and with agreement of the flag Administration. Users of this Guide should be aware that due to changing regulations, and depending on specific geographical uses, compliance with this Guide may not necessarily reflect all requirements in all regions at the time of construction or future conversion.
