ClassNK has issued an Approval in Principle (AiP) for a Cargo Containment System (CCS) and Cargo Handling System (CHS) for liquefied hydrogen carrier developed by GTT.
ClassNK carried out the design review of CCS and CHS developed by GTT based on its Part N of Rules for the Survey and Construction of Steel Ships incorporating the IGC Code, and its Guidelines for Liquefied Hydrogen Carriers incorporating the IMO’s Interim Recommendations for Carriage of Liquefied Hydrogen in Bulk.
We are convinced that the development of containment systems for hydrogen transportation is a key element in accelerating the energy transition.
… said Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT
Furthermore, a Hazard Identification (HAZID) workshop was conducted to ascertain potential hazards and risks. Upon confirming they comply with the prescribed requirements, ClassNK issued the AiP.
Anticipating that hydrogen transportation will play a significant role in a decarbonized society, it is our pleasure to be involved in GTT’s pioneering initiative through our expertise in safety assessment.
