Ballard Power Systems has received a significant 6.4 MW order to supply 32 FCwave-200 kW engines that will power two hydrogen-fueled container ships for Samskip, facilitating zero-emission operations between Norway and the Netherlands. Each of the 135-meter vessels will be equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell boasting an output of 3.2 MW, supplemented by diesel generators for backup power. The incorporation of FCwave engines into green marine propulsion systems by eCap Marine signifies a step towards sustainable marine transport. Delivery of the engines is expected in 2025 and 2026. This order underscores Ballard's commitment to promoting hydrogen fuel cells as viable propulsion systems for various marine vessels, supporting the wider adoption of clean energy solutions to meet stringent global emissions regulations. The FCwave module, the world's first DNV type-approved fuel cell module for marine applications, ensures compliance with international maritime safety standards. Supported by ENOVA, Norway's government agency for energy and climate initiatives, the order aligns with efforts to transition towards low-emission solutions in the maritime industry. Marty Neese, President & CEO of Ballard Power Systems, views this order as a milestone in marine fuel cell engine history, emphasizing the critical role of PEM fuel cell propulsion in maritime applications. The collaboration between Samskip, Ballard, and eCap Marine signifies a joint commitment to environmental sustainability and operational excellence in marine transport. Samskip's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040 is reinforced by the expected reduction of 25,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year per fuel cell ship, provided they are powered by renewable hydrogen and utilize clean shore power in ports.
