Bureau Veritas (BV) and TotalEnergies have been conducting a joint study aiming at de-risking the use of ammonia as a marine fuel. The study to focus on leak mitigation and treatment.
The joint preliminary study evaluated the health and safety risks from ammonia leaks for crew and passengers and pinpointed key safety criteria, broadening the shipping industry’s understanding of ammonia as a marine fuel.
The study has examined different leak scenarios for single-wall and double-wall containment, as well as during bunkering operations – also providing key insights on the efficiency of ventilation and vapour processing systems, the size of safety zones needed, and the health risks to people exposed to leaks.
