The rapid growth of electric and other alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) poses new safety challenges for maritime transport. Ro-Ro vessels, built for the transport of vehicles, have large open cargo spaces that can allow fire growth, making fire safety a critical concern.
The main objective of the STARRS study from the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) is to provide recommendations for further guidance and input into the development of instruments relevant to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The study is being carried out by RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and Bureau Veritas.
