KR (Korean Register) has published a report on the safe maritime transport of electric vehicles on Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTC), reports Ajot.
HAZID
Electric vehicle fires are known to be difficult to extinguish completely once they occur. This is particularly concerning for PCTCs, which transport a large number of vehicles, including electric vehicles, as a fire could lead to a major accident. To address these concerns, KR held a HAZID (Hazard Identification) workshop earlier this year, inviting experts from various fields, including PCTC operators, shipyards, and the National Fire Research Institute, to discuss fire safety management of electric vehicles transported by PCTCs.
The newly published report compiles expert opinions from the HAZID workshop and outlines the fire hazards associated with electric vehicles on PCTCs.
The “Safe Maritime Transport of Electric Vehicles on PCTCs” report is available for public access on KR’s official website (www.krs.co.kr).
