LH2CRAFT Advancing Maritime Safety: Approval in Principle (AiP)

The LH2CRAFT project is making significant progress in the development of a safe and scalable liquid hydrogen (LH₂) transport solution. By designing an advanced cryogenic containment system, the project is ensuring that hydrogen-powered vessels can operate efficiently and securely, supporting the transition to a cleaner maritime industry.

Ensuring the highest safety standards is at the heart of the LH2CRAFT project. As part of its commitment to developing a safe and scalable liquid hydrogen transport solution, the project team is actively working toward obtaining Approval in Principle (AiP) for the Liquid Hydrogen Cargo Containment System (LH₂ CCS). This crucial classification milestone will ensure that the system meets the most rigorous safety requirements and complies with international maritime regulations, reinforcing the industry’s transition toward hydrogen-powered vessels.

To achieve this, LH2CRAFT is working closely with a leading classification society, American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). This collaboration is key to advancing innovative hydrogen technologies while maintaining the highest safety and classification standards. By engaging with experts in maritime safety and classification, the project is laying the foundation for the future of zero-emission shipping, where hydrogen plays a pivotal role in reducing the environmental impact of the maritime sector.

As the project continues to make progress, updates will be shared regularly.
