Considerations of Training Aspects: Seafarers on Ships Powered by Ammonia, Methanol and Hydrogen

Report Published

As the maritime industry moves towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there is a critical need to explore alternative fuels. The Maritime Just Transition Task Force (MJTTF), in collaboration with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Secretariat with support from Lloyd’s Register Foundation, has initiated a project to develop the training materials necessary for seafarers to safely use the new zero and near-zero GHG emission fuels and draft associated competency standards, as current competencies under the Seafarers’ Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Code do not yet cover these areas specifically. The project is titled ‘Baseline Training Framework for Seafarers in Decarbonization’.
