Vinssen Co. Ltd., specializing in maritime decarbonization technology, has obtained an Approval in Principle (AiP) certification for Korea's first tugboat powered by a hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system. This achievement is the result of a joint-research project with KRE and the Korean Register, demonstrating a significant advancement in applying eco-friendly technology to high-carbon-emitting vessels like tugboats. The 2,700 kW electric tugboat uses hydrogen fuel for propulsion and stores excess electricity in batteries, allowing for energy demand readiness and efficient operations in varying load conditions. Vinssen's system, designed in collaboration with KRE, not only meets current and future environmental standards but also enhances performance in demanding marine settings. By integrating hydrogen fuel cells with battery storage systems, Vinssen offers a practical and scalable solution for port operations, contributing to the industry's sustainability goals. Additionally, Vinssen plans to showcase its eco-friendly vessels and propulsion systems at Sea Asia 2025, emphasizing the company's commitment to green maritime technologies and innovations.
