Lithium-ion batteries are increasing used in everyday life, from electric cars to mobility scooters, up to electric tugs and port plant equipment. Whilst the risk of fire associated with their use is not thought to be higher than any other fire risk, the implications of electric battery fires can be far more severe. Dealing with a lithium-ion fire in a port or on a ship presents unique challenges and risks, this conference will discuss those risk and how best to prepare for them. This conference will discuss the various touch-points that electric vehicles have with ports and shipping including car carriers, ro-ro ferries, plant and ageing batteries being exported in containers. This conference is open to members of both associations as well as any other interested parties. Confirmed speakers include: Paul Christensen, Chair of Pure and Applied Electrochemistry, Director Lithiumion safety Ltd Martin Brown, Test Support Services, Improvement Consultant, Horiba Mira Stephan Hennig, SoSRep, Department for Transport. Plus speaker panels covering the international levels of risks and legislation, case studies from UK maritime, and suggested training and equipment.
