This report examines the challenges of safely transporting hydrogen by sea, focusing on containment systems, handling processes, and vessel design. It highlights hydrogen’s key hazards, including explosiveness, flammability, permeation, and leakage, and reviews current regulatory limitations, particularly within the IMO IGC Code and classification society guidelines. The report emphasizes the need for advanced leakage detection technologies, hydrogen-resistant materials, and a comprehensive risk assessment methodology to address safety gaps. Key findings and recommendations are provided to guide future guideline development and inform related Work Packages.
