Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment of Compressed Hydrogen as a Marine Fuel in SAFeCRAFT Project
摘要
The SAFeCRAFT project aims to support the maritime industry’s transition to Sustainable Alternative Fuels (SAFs) by developing and demonstrating key technologies to meet FuelEU Maritime 2040 targets. The project features a 180 K bulk carrier with a 1.5 MW hydrogen engine, providing additional propulsion through a Power-Take-In (PTI) and Power-Take-Off (PTO) system. A HAZID (Hazard Identification) study identified 173 hazards across six critical areas: H₂ bunkering, fuel storage, fuel supply unit, G/E, gas & vent mast system and PTI/PTO. The study emphasized the importance of conducting a Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) to evaluate the likelihood and consequences of these hazards. The findings provide valuable insights for refining design recommendations related to hydrogen safety, contributing to the development of hydrogen-specific maritime regulations and codes. These results are crucial for both conceptual and detailed design stages, ensuring safety considerations are effectively incorporated and supporting necessary modifications to the vessel’s general arrangement to enhance overall safety and operational feasibility.
