This month, we explore the critical topic of engine room safety, and what design considerations would be needed on a future, ammonia-fueled vessel. What learnings can we apply from running prototype engines? What lessons can be learned from current ammonia-handling industries like refrigeration? And what training will be needed to build confidence in seafarers? Kaj Portin, Laura Sariola (both Wärtsilä) and John Mott (Ammonia Safety & Training Institute) joined Conor Fürstenberg Stott to explore these questions.
