A remark on the safety of hydrogen fuel cells in the marine industry has been released by Bureau Veritas.
The use of fuel cells, while promising for the decarbonization of the maritime industry, creates security concerns. That is why Bureau Veritas, a business specializing in testing, inspection, and certification, has released a comment on ship-powered fuel cells.
Companies in the marine industry that construct and operate hydrogen fuel cells must do a thorough assessment of the hazards associated with this technology, according to NR 547.
Manufacturers and shipyards must fulfill specific safety criteria in order to gain certification for fuel cell systems. Once these batteries have been put on board, ship owners must guarantee that their crew is protected.
There are three sorts of evaluations
“NR 547 sets the foundations for operators of fuel cell boats to utilize safe, durable, and high-performance vessels,” says Laurent Leblanc, Senior Vice President of Operations and Techniques at Bureau Veritas.
Space-specific hazard identification study (HAZID), fuel system hazard and operability analysis (HAZOP), and critical mode analysis are all examples of fuel cell evaluations. Failure of this item and its consequences (FMECA).
