The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has drawn attention to a safety paradox within the shipping industry's decarbonisation efforts, according to Ship & Bunker.
The organisation indicated that the adoption of new fuels would require significant updates to existing safety protocols.
These necessary updates include revised training programmes for personnel, new operational procedures, and comprehensive safety frameworks.
The ICS's statement underscores the importance of addressing safety considerations as the industry transitions to alternative energy sources for maritime transport.
