The Klaipėda State Seaport Authority in Lithuania has launched the country's first green hydrogen and electricity-powered ship, designed for waste collection. This tanker, set to begin operations later in the year, will primarily handle stormwater, sewage, sludge, and garbage from vessels entering the port. Equipped with special tanks and a modern rainwater treatment plant, the ship will transfer treated water to the city's sewage treatment plants. Measuring 42 meters in length and 10 meters in width, the vessel's power system comprises two electric motors running on 2,000 kWh batteries and a hydrogen fuel cell system. It can operate for up to 36 hours in the port without needing additional charging. The project, with a total value of €12 million, is a joint effort between the Port Authority, West Baltic Shipyard, and Baltic Workboats. This initiative marks a significant step towards sustainable maritime practices and showcases the adoption of innovative technologies in waste management within the shipping industry.
