Bureau Veritas (BV) has launched its first classification Rules for hydrogen-fuelled ships (NR678) to support the safe development of hydrogen propulsion in the maritime sector.
Lhyfe won the call for proposals by the Nantes Saint-Nazaire Port for the development of a green hydrogen production site to decarbonize its port ecosystem on a large scale
This is the world's first AiP certification for a ship equipped with a large low-speed two-stroke hydrogen-fueled engine as the main propulsion engine.
Compared with traditional fuel-powered ships, the hydrogen-powered vessel is expected to replace 103.16 tons of fuel oil and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 343.67 tons each year.
On September 12 2023, Japan Suiso Energy and three Japanese shipping companies, “K” LINE, MOL, and NYK, have agreed to join JSE Ocean, a subsidiary of JSE.
