China has achieved a significant milestone in green maritime technology with the launch of its first hydrogen fuel cell river container ship, Dong Fang Qing Gang. This vessel, equipped with the largest hydrogen fuel cell system ever seen on a Chinese ship, aims to tackle inland shipping emissions. Featuring two 240 kW hydrogen fuel cells and a 550 kg hydrogen storage system, the ship boasts an impressive 235-mile range. With a capacity of 64 TEU and a length of 64.9 meters, Dong Fang Qing Gang showcases advanced design and operational efficiency. Notably, the vessel's power system combines hydrogen storage with a lithium battery, marking a groundbreaking integration in shipping technology. The ship, launched in Zhejiang Province, will undergo rigorous testing before its operational demonstrations scheduled for 2025. This initiative is part of China's broader green innovation strategy, which includes the development of battery-powered ships and electrification systems to transform the maritime industry. Dong Fang Qing Gang heralds a new era for sustainable shipping and underlines China's dedication to achieving a zero-emissions future in its water transportation sector.
