• Methodology

This chapter outlines the research methodology employed in this study, detailing the research approach, data collection methods, and analytical procedures. The methodology is designed to comprehensively address the research questions and objectives regarding the insurance implications of alternative fuels in the shipping industry.

• Research method

A qualitative research approach is adopted, supplemented by an interdisciplinary perspective that integrates law, management, and technology. This approach is suitable for exploring complex, context-dependent phenomena such as the intersection of marine insurance and alternative fuel adoption, where quantitative data alone may not capture the intricacies of contractual, operational, and regulatory challenges.

• Data collection

Data is collected through a combination of primary and secondary sources:

Primary data: Obtained through semi-structured interviews and, if feasible, case studies within shipping companies.

Secondary data: Gathered from academic journals, industry reports, IMO and MARPOL regulations, insurance policies, and company documents related to chartering and vessel operations.

This dual approach ensures a robust dataset that reflects both theoretical knowledge and practical insights from industry stakeholders.

3.4   Interviews

Semi-structured interviews are conducted with insurance experts, shipowners, and operational managers to explore perceptions of risk, insurance challenges, and practical considerations regarding the use of alternative fuels. The interviews focus on:

Examination of specific insurance clauses in chartering contracts, insurance policies, and building contracts.

Understanding of risk assessment procedures and premium-setting mechanisms.

Insights into operational and regulatory challenges faced during the deployment of alternative fuels on specific vessels.

Interviews allow for in-depth understanding and contextualized perspectives, providing critical insights not readily available in published literature.

3.5   Literature review

The literature review adopts an interdisciplinary approach, synthesizing knowledge from:

Maritime law: regulations, contractual frameworks, and insurance legislation.

Management studies: decision-making processes, risk perception, and operational implications.

Engineering and technology: characteristics of alternative fuels, safety procedures, and technical constraints.

This comprehensive review identifies research gaps, informs interview questions, and provides the theoretical foundation for the study.

• Data analysis

Data from interviews and secondary sources is analyzed using thematic content analysis, which involves:

• Transcribing interviews verbatim.
• Coding responses to identify recurring themes, categories, and patterns related to insurance, risk, and operational challenges.
• Triangulating findings with literature and documentary evidence to ensure validity.

If case studies are conducted, cross-departmental analysis is performed to evaluate operational, technical, and managerial impacts of alternative fuel deployment. This may involve comparing departments such as technical operations, chartering, and crew training.

• Reliability and validity

To ensure reliability and validity:

• Multiple sources of data (interviews, documents, literature) are triangulated.
• Interview protocols are standardized, and pilot interviews are conducted to refine questions.
• Participants are encouraged to provide examples and documentation to support responses, enhancing credibility.
• An audit trail of data collection and analysis procedures is maintained for transparency and reproducibility.
  • Ethical considerations
  • Ethical principles are strictly observed:
• Informed consent is obtained from all interview participants.
• Confidentiality and anonymity are ensured, particularly regarding sensitive company data and insurance contracts.
• Participants are briefed on the purpose of the research, and they have the right to withdraw at any time.
• Data storage and handling comply with institutional ethical guidelines and data protection regulations.

Semi-Structured Interview Protocol

Section 1: Background Information

Could you please introduce yourself and your organizational role in the shipping/insurance sector? How long have you been involved in the field of marine insurance/shipping operations? What is your experience with alternative fuels (LNG, biofuels, methanol, ammonia, hydrogen)?

Section 2: Risks Associated with Alternative Fuels (RQ1)

1.     In your view, what are the most important operational risks related to the use of alternative fuels on ships (e.g., storage, handling, engine compatibility, crew training)? 2.     What environmental risks do you associate with these fuels (e.g., leaks, spills, port incidents)? 3.     What risks do you see in terms of ship assets (Hull & Machinery)? 4.     Do you know of any real-life cases or incidents that illustrate these risks?

Section 3: Impact of Risks on Marine Insurance Instruments (RQ2)

How are these risks currently reflected in marine insurance contracts (Hull & Machinery, P&I, Liability)? Have alternative fuels influenced premiums, exclusions, or insurance terms in your experience? What changes (positive or negative) have you observed in contractual clauses or standard terms in response to these risks? From your perspective, has the insurance market been cautious, supportive, or neutral regarding alternative fuel adoption?

Section 4: Adapting Insurance Frameworks (RQ3)

In your opinion, what adjustments are needed in the existing insurance framework to better address the risks of alternative fuels? What kinds of risk-sharing mechanisms could help reduce insurance-related barriers? What role should international bodies such as IMO and MARPOL play in shaping these adaptations? What recommendations would you make to align insurance practices with decarbonisation goals while maintaining safety?

Section 5: Closing and Feedback

If you had to summarize the single biggest insurance-related barrier to the adoption of alternative fuels in one sentence, what would it be? What advice would you offer to researchers or policymakers in this field? Is there anything we have not asked about that you think should be considered in this study?

Protocol Notes

Question style: Open-ended, to encourage detailed responses. Duration: Approximately 45–60 minutes per interview. Recording method: Audio recorder or recording app (with participant consent). Analysis method: Thematic Content Analysis (coding, categorization, triangulation with literature/documentary evidence).
