VINSSEN, a specialist in maritime decarbonization technology, has achieved a significant milestone by receiving the Approval in Principle (AIP) certification from the Korean Register for introducing Korea's first tugboat with a hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system. This development comes as a result of a joint-research project with KRE, a leader in ship design and engineering, aiming to revolutionize the maritime industry's approach to sustainability. The 2,700 kW electric tugboat features a hydrogen fuel cell that powers its propulsion system, complemented by battery energy storage for optimal operation efficiency. By storing excess electricity generated by the fuel cells in batteries, the tugboat can smoothly transition between low-load and high-output scenarios, ensuring stable and efficient performance. VINSSEN's eco-friendly propulsion system is designed to not only comply with current and future environmental regulations but also excel in challenging marine conditions, demonstrating its versatility and reliability. This innovation extends beyond fuel cell technology to include battery energy storage systems, offering a holistic green solution for the maritime sector. VINSSEN's commitment to decarbonizing the industry is further emphasized by its upcoming participation in Sea Asia 2025, where it plans to showcase its eco-friendly vessels and propulsion systems, highlighting its role in shaping a sustainable future for global maritime operations.
