Guidelines for Ships Using Alternative Fuels (Methyl/Ethyl Alcohol/LPG/Ammonia)/Руководство для судов, использующих альтернативные виды топлива (метиловый/этиловый спирт/СНГ/аммиак)

Книга на английском языке.
Part A. These guidelines provide provisions for the arrangement, installation, control and monitoring of machinery, equipment and systems using methyl/ethyl alcohol as fuel to minimize the risk to the ship, its crew and the environment, having regard to the nature of the fuels involved.
Part B. These guidelines provide provisions for the arrangement, installation, control and monitoring of machinery, equipment and systems using LPG as fuel to minimize the risk to the ship, its crew and the environment, having regard to the nature of the fuels involved.
Part C. The Guidelines for Ships Using Ammonia as Fuel (hereinafter referred to as «the Guidelines») makes reference to requirements specified in SOLAS, the IGC Code and the IGF Code with a view to minimizing the risks to ships, seafarers and the environment in consideration of the particular characteristics of ammonias well as the standards for the equipment (including associated control and monitoring systems) installed on board ships using ammonia as fuel, which have been independently established by the Society up until now. The Guidelines is intended to be helpful with respect to the implementation of alternative designs as wellas the submission of requests for approval to Flag State Administrations related to the use of ammonia as fuel. Although this version of the Guidelines was primarily developed based on currently available information, the Society intends to regularly review and update it as deemed necessary so as to fully incorporate the knowledge obtained from future operational data and research and development results to ensure that the information contained therein does not become outdated or otherwise inaccurate.
Annex. This annex applies to ships classed with the Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (hereinafter referred to as «the Society»), that take measures beforehand in preparation for possible future conversion to the becoming a ship using alternative fuel for which an application to affix relevant notation to the ship’s classification characters is made. The term «measures» in this context means that the ship has either a concept design for future conversion, or both a concept design and detailed design for partial facilities related to alternative fuel use and associated installations. Hereinafter, such measures are referred to as «Alternative Fuel Ready», and this also applies to ships using alternative fuels that are designed for the use of other alternative fuels in the future.
