New fire strategies in the wake of Umoe Ventus
MEFISTO – Methanol Fire Safety Tools

The shipping industry is undergoing a major transformation as shipowners adopt alternative fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Methanol has emerged as one of the most promising low-carbon marine fuels. However, the use of methanol also introduces new fire safety challenges that differ from those associated with conventional marine fuels.
