Achievement

Our customer challenge

The HYNOVA shipyard undertook the construction of a hydrogen-powered vessel, and carried out 12 refuelling operations in 12 Côte d'Azur ports. Following this initiative, the yard expressed the need to understand the appropriate standards and measures governing the distribution of hydrogen gas.

  • In-depth reading and detailed analysis of current regulations, such as the national and local RPM (port and maritime regulations) and the ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road).

  • Exhaustive analysis of the documents provided by the 12 ports concerned.

  • Systematic comparison of information extracted from port documents with
    the provisions of the regulations in force. Also careful reading of the energy
    supplier's safety data sheet.

Deliverable

Our analyses revealed significant discrepancies between the regulatory measures in force and the specific needs of our customer, the HYNOVA shipyard, with regard to hydrogen refuelling. We identified inadequacies, particularly in terms of safety distance, schedule, frequency and packaging.

This methodical approach has enabled us to gain an in-depth understanding of the rules and standards applicable to hydrogen refuelling in French ports.

As a result, we have developed tailor-made recommendations to ensure the safe and efficient implementation of hydrogen operations.

The client received a comprehensive, written final deliverable, as well as a practical guide for ports including the main key elements to be checked.
