Unlike traditional fuels, ammonia is highly toxic, flammable, and corrosive. Exposure to ammonia can cause serious health problems, like respiratory issues and chemical burns, so strict safety measures are needed. Its flammability also poses a significant fire risk, which can lead to severe consequences aboard vessels if not managed properly.<\/h6>\n<h6>Additionally, ammonia\u2019s corrosive nature can damage equipment and infrastructure, leading to leaks and spills. These incidents can have serious environmental and safety consequences, making it essential to implement strong safety protocols. Addressing these risks requires a multi-faceted approach. Advanced detection systems are needed to quickly identify and pinpoint leaks. Ventilation systems must prevent the build-up of toxic fumes, and specialised fire suppression systems are necessary for handling ammonia-related fires. Regular maintenance and thorough inspections of storage and handling equipment are crucial to prevent leaks and spills. Comprehensive safety protocols and emergency response plans are essential to manage the risks associated with using ammonia as fuel.<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 2025, ammonia-powered ships will be a part of the global fleet.
