What are the environmental and safety implications of an ammonia leak within a port? What facilities and contingency measures need to be put in place to limit these risks alongside other UK regulators?
Background
The decarbonisation of the UK maritime industry shall require the use of novel technologies and chemicals that may pose a risk to the lives of seafarers and the health of marine ecosystems. As regulators, we have a responsibility to ensure that the risk to the environment and human life is minimised.
