Recording & Summary MBF Webinar - Ventilation Regulations for Battery Spaces on Battery-Powered Ships

Written By Ayomide Salifu

This webinar provided a clear and practical comparison of ventilation requirements for battery spaces as defined by class rules from DNV and the proposed new regulations from the Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA). It brought together regulators, class experts, and industry to explore how these regulatory approaches differ, why they differ, and what the implications are for the safe and efficient integration of battery systems on board ships.

Missed it? Here are some key takeaways!

  • Ventilation is central to battery space safety

  • Overpressure management is as important as gas dilution

  • Equipment temperature class must prevent ignition risk

  • Annual SoH verification is required for critical battery installations

  • Cleanliness and maintenance are major real-world safety factors

  • Regulatory alignment remains a work in progress
