Moss Maritime, Equinor, Wilhelmsen and DNV GL jointly developed a design for a liquefied hydrogen (LH2) bunker vessel. The vessel design, made in response to the global ambition of reducing the environmental footprint from global ship transport, comes at a time when hydrogen is finally developing into a viable solution for the larger market, the partners explained. The future large scale use of hydrogen in both maritime and land-based industry will require vessels tailored for transportation and bunkering of liquefied hydrogen. The project, sponsored by Innovation Norway, was launched with the objective to clarify challenges and find solutions for storage and handling of this demanding cargo and fuel on a vessel. The vessel has been developed to provide liquefied hydrogen bunkering services to merchant ships, in addition to open sea transport.
