ICHCA Australia & Thomas Miller address battery fire risk management in Australasian Marine Surveyors publication

 

Peter van Duyn, Master Mariner and Director of International Cargo Handling Co-ordination Association (Australia) and Marcus Johns, Managing Director, Thomas Miller each have an article in the March 2024 edition of Shipshape the magazine of the Australasian Institute of Marine Surveyors.

Both address the fire risks associated with lithium batteries, with Peter’s article entitled “At sea lithium-ion battery incidents are on the rise” and Marcus’ “Lithium batteries white paper”. Peter considers if the current lithium battery categorisation in the IMDG Code – Class 9 Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods – is fit for purpose. Marcus examines the risk of transporting lithium-ion batteries and whether they pose a threat to the maritime supply chain. He also looks at topics such as special provisions for vehicle transport. Both articles are relevant to the work that ICHCA is doing alongside partners at the IMO reviewing the IMDG Code and in particular a correspondence group on vehicle carriage and special provisions.

Follow the link to see the article: Shipshape March 2024

Peter’s article refers to fires on board car carrying vessels. For more information on a vessel fire in 2023 please view our recent webinar Session 2 – Li-Ion Batteries and the Challenge for Seafarers – Adrian Scales, Brookes Bell:
