Marine Log’s 38th annual FERRIES Conference, taking place November 4-5 in Jersey City, N.J., across from the Manhattan skyline in New York City, will feature a safety-focused presentation from Whitney Mantooth, PhD, MPH, CSP, senior engineer, at the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), on how ferry operators can adapt emergency evacuation procedures for the unique risks of alternative-fuel vessels.

In “Innovations in Emergency Evacuation Procedures: Addressing Challenges with Alternative Fuels,” Mantooth will examine how fuels, such as methanol, hydrogen, and other low-carbon options present new considerations for fire detection, toxic exposure, and evacuation timelines. She will explore how Passenger Evacuation Modeling (PEM), Human Factors Engineering (HFE), and function-based digital twins can help ensure the Required Safe Egress
