China recently celebrated the launch of its first significant hydrogen fuel cell river containership, the Dong Fang Qing Gang. The vessel is equipped with cutting-edge technology, featuring two 240 kW hydrogen fuel cells and a substantial hydrogen storage system capable of holding 550 kg of hydrogen. Developed by Chinese company Sinosynergy, these fuel cells represent a significant advancement in high-power applications for the shipping industry, enabling the vessel to operate efficiently even under heavy load. With a capacity of 64 TEU and a range of approximately 235 miles, the ship is set to embark on a commercial demonstration service in 2025, running between Zhapu port and Xiasha port. This initiative underscores China's commitment to reducing emissions in inland shipping, with a focus on exploring various environmentally friendly transportation solutions. Apart from hydrogen-powered vessels, the country is also investing in battery-powered ships and electrification systems, showcasing its dedication to advancing sustainable practices in the maritime sector.
