Green fuels

Green fuels and safety

The introduction of novel fuels and ship types calls for innovative fire strategies. With the expansion of new, alternative fuels, we encounter new risks and fire scenarios.

DBI offers consultancy for the development of robust fire strategies, including technical and human aspects.

We have a 360° approach to fire safety and a safe green transition for the maritime industry.

This covers:

Risk assessment of design, supported by testing and simulation.

Evaluation and documentation of technology for detection and extinguishing
Documentation of safety for classification societies and authorities.
Behavioural aspects in operations and design
