Lloyd’s Register, H2-Industries working on safety standards for fuel-cell-electric ships with LOHC technology

Green Car Congress

H2-Industries and Lloyd’s Register (LR) are working together on developing safety standards for all-electric vessels powered by emission-free Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology. It converts the hydrogen released from the LOHC into electricity, which is then used on the vessel for propulsion and onboard power.

MAN supplying mixed medium- and high-speed engines for hybrid foundation/wind turbine installation vessels

Green Car Congress

The F-class has similar specifications but is uniquely flexible and can be quickly converted from a foundation-installation unit (WFIV) to a wind-turbine-generator installation vessel (WTIV). Each engine will also feature SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) and meet IMO Tier III emission standards. —Cadeler’s CEO, Mikkel Gleerup.
