London-based energy and marine consultancy AqualisBraemar LOC has completed the first renderings of Europe’s first hydrogen-fueled ferry, a part of the HySeas III project.
HySeas III is the third development stage of a project to deliver a ferry powered by hydrogen fuel cells. The EU-funded project includes partners like Scottish ferry company CMAL, St. Andrew’s University, Orkney Islands Council, and several European companies.
In June, AqualisBraemar LOC joined the consortium to design this Europe’s first hydrogen-fueled ferry. CMAL says that the drawings show how this vessel may look. It will also serve to provide a blueprint for the further development of zero-emissions ferry travel.
As a double-ended sea-going passenger and car ferry, it will have the capacity for 120 passengers and 16 cars or two trucks. The vessel will travel between Kirkwall and Shapinsay in Orkney, where hydrogen fuel is available through wind power. It will also be capable of operating at other ports where hydrogen could become available in the future.
