There are growing concerns within the shipping community, including marine underwriters, about fires breaking out on car carriers and roros with the assertion that many of these fires are attributable to electric vehicles. In response, the International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) has researched these claims and published recommendations on the safe carriage of electric vehicles (EVs).
This paper provides best practice & recommendations for the safe carriage of electric vehicles (EVs), including technical information about electric vehicle batteries as well as differences between roro/ropax vessels and Pure Care & Truck Carriers (PCTCs).
