The Sogestran Group, a French shipping company, has introduced the Zulu 06, a groundbreaking hydrogen fuel cell-powered river vessel, set to operate primarily on the Seine in Paris. Measuring 55 meters long and 8 meters wide, the vessel has a cargo capacity of 400 tonnes and will be managed by Sogestran's subsidiary, Compagnie Fluviale de Transport. The Zulu 06 features a hybrid power system comprising hydrogen fuel cells from Ballard, a power generation system by ABB Marine and Ports, and a 90kWh lithium-ion battery bank. With 300 kg of compressed hydrogen, the vessel can achieve seven days of operational autonomy. Safety measures include leak and fire detectors, as well as a fixed fire extinguishing system. The vessel's power architecture is designed to optimize performance with the hydrogen fuel cells and batteries working in synergy.
