Discover the latest news & applications for the marine certified FCwaveTM module

 

2023-24 marks a significant milestone in marine technology as several industry-first hydrogen-powered vessels take to the water on their maiden journeys. This is the culmination of multi-year developments where partners across the marine industry – integrators, vessel operators, fuel cell suppliers and infrastructure providers – are breaking new ground and launching zero-emission propulsion solutions.

 

Powered by Ballard’s marine-grade fuel cell engines, the first vessels to embark were Norled’s MF Hydra - the world’s first liquid hydrogen-powered ferry - operating in Norway; FPS’ H2Barge2, a retrofitted cargo vessel that entered service on the river Rhine in the Netherlands in March 2024; and Zulu 06, the first inland cargo transport vessel, due for launch on the river Seine in Paris in early 2024.
