Samskip is making a significant move towards sustainable maritime operations by announcing the retrofit of its MPP vessel, Kvitnos, with hydrogen fuel cell technology as part of the HyEkoTank project. This initiative, funded by the EU Horizon Europe program with an initial investment of €5 million, aims to showcase the potential of hydrogen power to the global fleet of over 100,000 ships. The retrofit of Kvitnos in 2025 will involve equipping the vessel with TECO 2030's fuel cells and Umoe Advanced Composites' hydrogen storage solution to enhance energy efficiency. By partnering with industry players like Shell, BLOM Maritime, and FKAB Marine Design, Samskip seeks to lead the way in sustainable shipping practices. TECO 2030's CEO highlighted the synergy between fuel cell technology and Samskip's sustainability goals as a key driver for long-term success in the maritime sector. The project coordinator stressed the importance of retrofitting existing ships with zero-emission technology to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets in the industry. With almost all newly built ships relying on conventional fossil technologies, the HyEkoTank project's focus on transitioning existing fleets to zero-emission alternatives is crucial for a greener maritime future.
