Are there any other standards or guidelines that would help in determining fire protection and life-safety requirements for Piers, Wharves, and/or Floats used for H2 fueling of marine vessels?
The HSP is not aware of any specific standards for this application, but LNG standards could serve as a useful starting point given the extensive maritime trade of LNG and its use in ship propulsion. Meeting LNG requirements could provide a minimum baseline, with additional considerations needed to account for the colder temperatures of liquid hydrogen (e.g., purging, air liquefaction, insulation). For example, the ABS has an LNG bunkering guide Guide for LNG Bunkering. The Marine Technologies Forum has also published this:2024-mtf-LH2-bunkering-guidelines.pdf
