EMSA has published the first report in the Safe Transport of AFVs on Ro-Ro Ships (STARRS) study series. The study aims to provide scientific and technical knowledge on fire safety of Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs) on board ships.

The new report, the first part of the study series, is a technical and regulatory review which provides an overview of the regulatory landscape governing the safe transportation of AFVs, reviews and summarises state-of-the-art of experimental findings on fire safety of AFVs in ro-ro spaces (including prior research on numerical modelling and simulations) and presents conclusions from the review.
