Maritime safety project to improve methanol fire safety
The MEFISTO – Methanol Fire ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Tools (the devil is in the detail) project will create tested safety solutions that support the safe use of methanol as a marine fuel and help shipowners meet regulatory requirements.
Overview
MEFISTO will simulate real-world engine room conditions to evaluate fire detection and suppression systems, generate empirical safety data, and inform future ship designs, crew training, and international regulation. Findings will be shared openly to accelerate safer methanol adoption and support the maritime sector’s transition to low-emission fuels.
Jan Przydatek Director of Technologies
“With over 80 per cent of global trade moving by sea, maritime safety is essential for this critical link in the supply chain. Lloyd’s Register Foundation is committed towards engineering a safer world. This project supports that by generating the evidence needed to guide regulation, improve training, and enable the safe adoption of new fuels like methanol.â€
