IGF Code Basics: Safety Rules for Low-Flashpoint Fuels

Описание: In this introductory episode, we unpack the "invisible rulebook" behind ships using gases and other low-flashpoint fuels: the IMO IGF Code (International Code of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels).

You'll see why the fuel transition changes the safety picture, what the IGF Code is designed to control, and how today's design decisions connect to the next wave of fuels like ammonia and hydrogen.

What you'll learn in this video:
✅ Why the shipping fuel transition introduces new hazard profiles (not just emissions).
✅ What the IGF Code is and why it matters for global safety and compliance.
✅ Core safety concepts like redundancy (n-1) and prescriptive design requirements.
✅ Practical design logic behind leak management (why open-deck placement can reduce risk).
