Ensure Compliance with the International IGF Code for Gas-Fueled Vessels
The maritime industry is rapidly adopting alternative fuels like LNG and other low-flashpoint fuels to meet environmental and operational demands. The International IGF Code is the definitive regulatory framework that sets mandatory safety standards for ships using these fuels. This printed publication in French provides maritime professionals with the essential guidelines needed to design, construct, and operate gas-fueled vessels while minimizing risks to the ship, crew, and environment.

Adopt a Goal-Based Approach to Maritime Safety
Unlike conventional prescriptive regulations, the IGF Code employs a goal-based approach, focusing on functional safety objectives rather than rigid specifications. This allows for innovative and flexible solutions in vessel design and operation while ensuring compliance with international safety standards. The code establishes mandatory requirements for the arrangement, installation, control, and monitoring of machinery and systems, providing a robust safety framework for modern maritime operations.
