OUR ocean water, A clean marine energy startup is developing a hydrogen-powered ship, also known as unmanned surface ship (Unmanned surface vessel / X-USV). In addition to this feature, it has autonomous navigation technologywhich will be implemented in the coming years. Permission has been granted Lloyd’s Register (LR), classification society Great Britainhow for your system control technology as for the system hydrogen and those from electricity distribution. The goal of onslaught is that the vessel can perform several different tasks such as monitoring, safety and environmental data collection without worrying about harmful emissions.

This project fits the bill WEIGHT (marine autonomous surface ship), and will be able to receive 6 thousand liters of liquid hydrogen. It is expected that it will be possible to make trips lasting from 40 to 60 daysat medium speed 4 knots (~ 7.4 km/h), carrying capacity 4500 kgusing hydrogen to reduce emissions CO2 during operations in 99% – one of its main advantages, since many countries set goals to achieve the desired zero emission plan until 2025.

The prototypes passed factory acceptance tests in early 2022.Participation in a technology competition Great Britain. The innovation grant contributed to the development of a startup that developed an automation system and mechanisms to implement a proposal for the use of hydrogen. Additional tests will take place next year, with full rollout scheduled for 2025if the results continue to be successful.
