Damen and CMB.TECH recently announced a milestone agreement at the 27th International Tug & Salvage Convention in Dubai to construct four hydrogen-powered tugs designed to revolutionize port operations. These tugs, equipped with hydrogen dual fuel engines and advanced storage systems for compressed hydrogen, represent a significant leap towards reducing emissions in the maritime sector. The vessels, built to Damen's ASD Tug 2812 FF-H2 design, are designed for maximum efficiency and environmental sustainability. The partnership between Damen and CMB.TECH underscores a shared commitment to fostering sustainable practices in the maritime industry, promoting the adoption of green hydrogen technology, and driving the global shift towards cleaner energy sources. By offering a versatile fueling option that includes traditional fuel backup, the tugs ensure operational reliability while prioritizing environmental stewardship. This initiative not only signifies a key advancement in hydrogen-powered vessel development but also sets a promising precedent for future collaborations aimed at enhancing the ecological footprint of port activities worldwide.
