French hydrogen power solutions developer, Genevos, has been chosen to provide the full hydrogen fuel cell system for Lithuania's inaugural hydrogen-electric waste collection vessel set to operate at the Port of Klaipeda. The 42-meter-long ship, recently initiated with a keel-laying ceremony, will be equipped with two marine-certified HPM-40 units from Genevos to serve as range extenders and enhance energy security. Alongside a 2,000 kWh battery system onboard, the 'H2 brick' integration will increase the ship's motoring range by 40%, reaching an average speed of eight knots. This waste collector is designed to handle 400 cbm of waste from incoming ships, contributing to sustainable waste management practices. The collaboration between Genevos, Baltic Workboats, and Western Baltija Shipbuilding aims to advance green technology in maritime operations and reduce carbon emissions. The project has received positive feedback from Peeter Raamat, emphasizing the environmental impact and the future role of the vessel as a model for upcoming eco-friendly initiatives. With construction already underway, the ship will be finalized in Estonia and commence operations at the Port of Klaipeda by the end of the subsequent year. Genevos' recent approval in principle from Bureau Veritas for its marine fuel cell further underlines the project's commitment to promoting renewable energy solutions in the maritime industry.
