As the maritime industry shifts towards low-GHG fuels, ensuring safety during this transition is paramount. This article highlights the critical measures and considerations necessary for a safe and effective switch to low-carbon fuels and technologies.

At the end of 2023, Ulsan Port Authority, a major energy distribution hub and a pioneer of the energy transition in the region, joined DNV Korea’s Decarbonization Network. The benefits are mutual, with the network partners committed to sharing knowledge and aligning their efforts to facilitate low-GHG fuel uptake.

In this special podcast episode, guest host Øyvind Sekkesæter is joined by Andreas Enger, CEO of Höegh Autoliners to discuss their bold move toward ammonia as a scalable, zero-carbon fuel and what they have done so far to prepare technically and secure future demands.

Integrating new technologies on board vessels involves understanding safety risks and implementing mitigation measures. DNV’s class notations and guidelines facilitate this process, ensuring a safe transition to a zero-carbon future.
