The LH2CRAFT consortium held its 3rd General Assembly (GA) meeting on the 5th and 6th of June 2025 at the premises of TWI in Cambridge, United Kingdom. The two-day meeting, hosted by TWI, brought together representatives from all partner organisations to review progress, exchange insights, and plan the next steps toward enabling the safe and efficient marine transportation of liquid hydrogen.
The meeting featured collaborative discussions across technical, managerial, and communication aspects of the project. It also provided an important opportunity to reinforce alignment among partners and advance ongoing work in several key areas.
Highlights of the Meeting
- Containment and Insulation Systems: Updates and testing insights were presented for the LH2 containment system, including material assessments and conceptual tank design.
- Test Rig Development: Progress on the design and manufacture of the small-scale test model was shared, supporting upcoming validation work.
- Safety Evaluations: The consortium discussed key findings from HAZOP and FMEA analyses, as well as both qualitative and quantitative safety assessments for the system.
- Integration and Engineering Design: Preliminary integration strategies and detailed engineering design updates were reviewed for the HDMSS and LH2 tank storage.
- Dissemination and Exploitation: Communication activities and stakeholder engagement strategies were addressed, along with planning for the next project phases and interactions with the External Advisory Board.
This in-person meeting not only strengthened technical alignment but also fostered valuable networking and cooperation among partners.
The consortium would like to warmly thank TWI for their generous hospitality and excellent organisation of the meeting, including a well-received networking dinner that contributed to the collaborative spirit of the event.
