This report reviews the existing regulatory landscape, and based on the risk studies undertaken throughout the NH3CRAFT project identifies the key regulatory challenges and gaps for adopting NH3 as fuel. Section 2 provides a top-level review of the regulatory framework. Section 3 describes the NH3 system. Strategic Directions for rule and regulatory development are presented in Section 4. In section 5 gap analysis results are presented based on key system functions and lessons from the key risk assessment studies. In Section 6 it is concluded that strengthening the existing regulatory framework may strategically shape the way forward. Given that NH3 is toxic and corrosive additional guidelines and regulations are needed, especially bearing in mind the increased number of operations (such as bunkering) and human interactions.

This document contains the NH3CRAFT Strategy for Communication and Live Register.

The concept and development of ammonia being used as a fuel in the shipping industry are still in the embryonic stage which requires a detailed investigation of its applicability in terms of its safety and risk during the design and operational phases of a ship’s lifecycle. Having said that, this report in detail investigates the different characteristics and properties of ammonia and identifies three major hazards namely toxicity, chemical corrosion, fire & explosion.

This document provides the data management plan (DMP) serving as a guideline for the work done “Safe and efficient storage of ammonia within ships” (abbr. NH3CRAFT) project in order to ensure an efficient project implementation as well as high-quality project results.

This document provides the initial project management plan (PMP) serving as handbook for the “Safe and efficient storage of ammonia within ships” (abbr. NH3CRAFT) project in order to ensure an efficient project implementation as well as high-quality project results. With this handbook, activities of all work packages are coordinated and consolidated throughout the project duration. It ensures that all necessary steps will be planned and synchronized to achieve the goals of the project during the different phases. The continu-ous work planning will be a major tool to ensure project continuity . The project management plan provides details of:• Project organisation• Communication management and collaboration• Work planning and reporting• Quality management• Risk management
