CMB.TECH and Damen Shipyards Group have joined forces to introduce a new era of eco-friendly maritime transport with hydrogen-powered ASD Tugs. These vessels, equipped with high-speed hydrogen dual-fuel engines and modular storage systems for compressed hydrogen, aim to revolutionize port operations by significantly reducing emissions. The collaboration, signed in Dubai at Albwardy Damen during the 27th International Tug & Salvage Convention, represents a leap towards sustainability in the maritime industry. The approval in principle from Lloyd’s Register further validates the innovative dual-fuel hydrogen technology that will propel these tugs, providing a cost-effective decarbonization solution. With a focus on minimizing NOx and CO2 emissions while meeting stringent environmental standards, the ASD Tugs 2812 FF-H2 are designed for both efficiency and environmental sustainability. Additionally, the vessels' ability to switch between hydrogen and traditional fuel showcases operational flexibility, ensuring seamless performance even in challenging situations. This development marks a milestone in the journey towards greener port operations and sets a precedent for the adoption of hydrogen technology in the maritime sector. The commitment of Damen and CMB.TECH to sustainable practices and the maritime energy transition is evident in their shared vision for a greener world, underpinning the significance of this partnership in driving environmental progress.
