IKEM investigates the admission of inland waterway vessels with an ammonia-based engine.
How can the use of ammonia as a fuel contribute to the decarbonization of the ship traffic? This question is being investigated and advanced in the research project CAMPFIRE. The sub-project “ammonia-powered inland waterway vessels” examines in this regard the legal framework for the admission of inland vessels with ammonia-based engine. The focus is on the requirements for the technical admission of inland vessels, whereby requirements regarding the construction, installation equipment and the hazardous goods law are especially analyzed. The research targets at identifying obstacles for ammonia-powered inland waterway vessels and at formulating specific proposed amendments for further advancement of the legal framework.
Schäfer, Judith et al.Ammonia as a fuel for the shipping sectorOverview paper on the legal framework. 2022. This paper provides an overview on the legal questions that arise with the use of ammonia as shipping fuel. For this purpose, it presents the legal means regarding the feasibility of ammonia as shipping fuel. Further, it examines the regulatory framework for ammonia bunker stations as critical onshore infrastructure. It also considers the offshore regulations for the use of ammonia as shipping fuel by examining the legal framework for the admission of ammonia-powered inland waterway vessels. |

Schäfer, Judith et al.Ammonia as a fuel for the shipping sectorLegal study on the onshore framework of ammonia-based shipping. Study conducted as part of the CAMPFIRE project. 2021. This study analyses the onshore legal framework for ammonia bunker stations to supply fuel for the shipping sector. Legal barriers to the construction and operation of ammonia bunker stations are identified. This provides recommendations for action and further development proposals for the legal framework with which identified barriers can be overcome. The study focuses on the legal framework for the authorisation and operation of ammonia bunker stations and on aspects of public procurement law regarding the licensing of the construction and operation of ammonia bunker stations. |
