eCap Marine has recently secured two significant contracts to supply hydrogen-based propulsion systems for emission-free vessels in the maritime industry. The first contract involves the construction of two hydrogen-powered bulk carriers for Møre Sjø, a Norwegian shipping company. These bulk carriers, to be built at Gelibolu Shipyard in Türkiye, will operate in Norwegian coastal waters and are expected for delivery in 2027. The vessels will be equipped with 1.7 MW PEM hydrogen fuel cells and a compressed hydrogen tank system, demonstrating a commitment to environmentally friendly fuel for emission-free operations. The second contract is with Samskip for the construction of zero-emission short-sea container vessels, known as Samskip SeaShuttles, which will utilize green hydrogen as fuel. These vessels, being developed in India and scheduled for delivery in 2027, will feature 3.2 MW PEM fuel cells and onboard hydrogen bunkering stations. eCap Marine's involvement in these projects highlights their expertise and leadership in providing innovative hydrogen solutions for the maritime industry. During Nor-Shipping 2021 in Oslo, eCap Marine showcased their green marine propulsion systems and onshore power solutions, attracting widespread interest in their hydrogen technology. The company's Managing Director, Lars Ravens, expressed pride in their team's accomplishments and emphasized the importance of scalable hydrogen technology for the maritime energy transition. With their focus on integrated hydrogen systems, eCap Marine aims to drive the adoption of hydrogen as a primary energy source for sustainable shipping practices. In a market where few suppliers take full responsibility for delivering energy from hydrogen, eCap Marine stands out for its dedication to promoting hydrogen as the future energy source for shipping. The company's vision and commitment to advancing hydrogen technology underscore its pivotal role in spearheading emission-free marine propulsion projects.
