Norwegian maritime companies EDGE Navigation and DNV have signed an agreement to jointly develop a 20,000 cbm ocean-going liquid hydrogen carrier for European waters. The vessel, designed for near-sea LH2 transport routes, will be powered by zero-emission hydrogen propulsion. EDGE will lead the concept and basic design development, while DNV will assess the deliverables for vessel classification. The collaboration aims to promote LH2 ocean transportation, support renewable energy delivery, and decarbonize hard-to-abate industries. CEO Jakob Tolstrup-Møller highlighted the importance of cost-efficient ocean logistics for hydrogen molecules. Tuva Flagstad-Andersen from DNV emphasized the commitment to zero-emission maritime transport. Additionally, EDGE partnered with the Dutch Port of Rotterdam Authority to explore a future-proof LH2 infrastructure.
