Hamburg-based eCap Marine has announced securing two contracts to supply hydrogen propulsion systems for four vessels, two bulk carriers for Norway's Møre Sjø, and two short-sea container vessels for global logistics firm Samskip. The firm is experiencing a rise in interest in hydrogen propulsion systems from the shipping sector. The vessels, including Samskip's SeaShuttle vessels currently under construction in India and Møre Sjø's bulkers being built in Turkey, will be equipped with hydrogen fuel cells, onboard storage tanks, and bunkering stations to enable emission-free operations. eCap Marine will supply 3.2 MW PEM fuel cells for the container vessels and 1.7 MW hydrogen fuel cells for the bulk carriers. The projects are expected to be completed by 2027. Lars Ravens, Managing Director at eCap Marine, emphasized the significance of these projects in the maritime energy transition, highlighting the team's dedication to developing scalable hydrogen technology. This move signals a positive step towards environmental sustainability in the maritime industry.
