Sea transport of natural gas in the form of hydrate pellets is a new technological approach. Introducing new technologies bears raises the possibility of introducing unknown risks or—in case of alternatives for already existing technical solutions—hi...
Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASSs) incorporate advanced digital technologies, thus rendering their systems more complex and diverse than those of conventional ships. Furthermore, the operation of MASSs, which introduces new risks not encounter...
The introduction of the maritime autonomous surface ship (MASS) to the maritime industry will open up a new era and bring about a new paradigm shift in terms of cost efficiency, maritime accidents, and human resources. Various studies are currently b...
In order to ensure the safety of shore-based hydrogen bunkering operations, this paper takes a 2000-ton bulk hydrogen powered ship as an example. Firstly, the HAZID method is used to identify the hazards of hydrogen bunkering, then the probability of...
Blast-resistant buildings are mainly used to protect main instruments, controllers, expensive equipment, and people from explosion waves. Oil and gas industry projects almost always include blast-resistant buildings. For instance, based on a hazard i...
Although liquefied natural gas (LNG) is already widely used as a marine fuel, its use on large cruise ships is a relatively new development. By the end of 2024, twenty-four LNG-fuelled cruise ships were in operation, each carrying several thousand pa...
