Global & Sector Opportunities for all forms of Hydrogen and Vessel Updates

Incorporating Hydrogen or derivatives in new vessel designs is attracting global interest, with re-power a significant opportunity for in-service craft. Alongside of Hydrogen powered vessels, portside infrastructure will need rapid investment with focus on flexibility and safety. Driven by decarbonisation and emissions compliance, the focus is now on Hydrogen technology that is available today or in the very near future. The first commercial vessels using Hydrogen as a dual duel in ICE or via fuel cell for battery-electric propulsion commenced operations in 2022 for  the sub 24m sectors. This knowledge and scaling of technology is now relevant for vessels in the 25m to 100m range. Demonstration projects and early adopter vessels can be investigated to learn from experiences of operating at sea and refuelling in port.
