Norwegian shipowner Møre Sjø has made a significant leap towards sustainable maritime transport by ordering two zero-emission 4,000 DWT bulk carriers powered by hydrogen fuel cells. These vessels, considered the first of their kind globally, will be designed by Naval Dynamics and delivered in 2027. GreenH will supply the vessels with green hydrogen from various planned production facilities in Norway. The collaboration aims to establish a hydrogen infrastructure and promote the use of eco-friendly fuels. The project has garnered support from Enova, reflecting the government's push towards a greener economy. Møre Sjø's decision to invest in hydrogen technology signals a proactive approach to reduce carbon emissions and align with international environmental standards. This initiative sets a new benchmark for the maritime industry and highlights the potential for hydrogen as a viable alternative to traditional marine fuels.
