Based on the work completed so far in Work Package 7 “Safety & Risk Assessment” of the NH3CRAFT Project, the University of Strathclyde presented several papers at the Global Conference on Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering 2024 (G-NAOE 2024), held from November 5-9, 2024, at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Southampton Grand Harbour in Southampton, UK. The G-NAOE 2024 was co-hosted by The Society of Naval Architects of Korea (SNAK) and Lloyd’s Register (LR), with participation from major heavy industries including HD Hyundai, Samsung Heavy Industries, Hanwha Ocean, Classification Societies such as ABS and Class NK, and Universities.
At the Conference, Dr. Hayoung Jang presented a paper titled “Regulatory Gap Analysis for Risk Assessment of Ammonia-Fuelled Ships” which covered the initial work carried out in the Work Package. While Dr. Injun Yang and Mr. Insik Hwang’s papers presented some of the results from the Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) which has recently been concluded. The titles of their papers were “Safety Evaluation on Ammonia-Fuelled Short Sea Ferry: Gas Dispersion Analysis through Vent Mast” and “Establishing Safety Zones for Ammonia Bunkering Operations: A Quantitative Risk Assessment” respectively.
All presentations were well received by the audience and fostered engaging discussions on safety assessments. Dr Yang’s paper also received the Best Paper Award for the Conference.
