Maritime decarbonisation technology provider VINSSEN has achieved a milestone by obtaining approval for South Korea's first tugboat equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system. This 2,700kW hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric tugboat is the result of a joint-research project involving VINSSEN, KRE, and the Korean Register. The tugboat efficiently utilizes hydrogen fuel and stores excess electricity generated by the fuel cells in batteries for low-load operations, ensuring readiness for future energy demands. In high-output scenarios, the stored battery energy supplements the fuel cell's power, ensuring stable propulsion for peak-load operations. VINSSEN's propulsion system not only revolves around hydrogen fuel cells but also incorporates battery energy storage systems, providing a comprehensive green solution. The company's commitment to sustainability is further highlighted by its plans to present its eco-friendly vessels and propulsion systems at the upcoming Sea Asia 2025 event in Singapore. With a strong focus on innovation, VINSSEN is actively working on transforming traditional diesel-powered vessels into environmentally friendly ships by leveraging electric and hydrogen technologies. The company's dedication to sustainable marine propulsion is evident through its range of patented solutions, emphasizing a shift towards greener practices in the maritime industry.
