As the maritime industry explores and debates the implementation of alternative fuel strategies, one universally acknowledged priority is the critical role of training and the preparedness of crews. New fuels require significant advancements in specific handling procedures, emergency response and risk management, as well as revised system operations and maintenance protocols to ensure safety management systems remain robust and effective. Additionally, the industry anticipates the introduction of new IMO guidelines for the Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW), aimed at standardising training across various ship types and fuel systems.
