Documentation of the data | Only the key differences among class rules and guidelines are listed in the Excel spreadsheet. The type categories are aligned with the IGF Code. | |
Description of the data | Class Rules and Guidelines - ABS (2023) - ‘Requirements for Hydrogen fueled ships’ - BV (2023) - ‘Hydrogen-fuelled ships, NR678’ - DNV (2021) - ‘Handbook for Hydrogen-fuelled vessels’ - DNV (2023) - ‘Part5 Ship types, Chapter 7 Liquefied gas tankers’ - KR (2023) - ‘Rules and guidances for the classification of ships using low-flashpoint fuels’ - LR (2024) - ‘LR Part A-1. Specific requirements for ships using Hydrogen as fuel’ - LR (2022) - ‘Rules and Regulations for the Construction and Classification of Ships using gases or other low-flashpoint fuels’ - NK (2023) - ‘Rules for the Survey and Construction of Steel ships – Part GF: Ships using low-flashpoint fuels’ - RINA (2024) – ‘Rules for the classification of ships, Part C;, Chapter 1 “Machinery”, Appendix 7: LNG Fuelled or CNG fuelled ships, Appendix 13: LPG or NH3 fuelled ships, and Appendix 14: Hydrogen fuelled ships’ | |

Abstract of the dataset | The IGF Code, originally designed around LNG storage and transport systems, falls short in adequately addressing the unique properties of hydrogen. As a result, efforts are currently underway to develop relevant regulations, including the release of CCC 9/WP.3. Leading classification societies like ABS, BV, DNV, KR, LR, NK, and RINA have established their own specific rules and guidelines for liquefied gases and LNG. | |
