RORO Electric Vehicle Battery Safety

Description

The RORO Electric Vehicle Battery Safety course covers risk assessment, fire prevention, emergency response, and best practices for handling EV incidents at sea. Designed for ferry operators, this course enhances safety, compliance, and crew confidence in managing EV transportation.

EV’s have a better safety record than liquid fuel vehicles. Regrettably, as we see on the news, and now with the fallout of the legal battles around the Felicity Ace, when an EV does catch fire, it’s very dramatic. 

The primary focus therefore is prevention and detection.
