- PowerCell’s Marine System 225 receives Type Approval from Lloyd’s Register, validating its safety and performance for maritime use.
- The system offers 225 kW of zero-emission, vibration-free power, helping shipowners meet IMO and EU climate goals.
- Certification paves the way for integration into ferries, workboats, patrol and offshore support vessels.
PowerCell Group has announced that its Marine System 225 has achieved Type Approval from Lloyd’s Register, one of the maritime sector’s most trusted classification societies. This milestone confirms that the hydrogen fuel cell system meets strict global standards for safety, design, and operational performance.
Clean Power at Sea: 225 kW, Modular and Scalable
The Marine System 225 is a part of PowerCell’s portfolio of fuel cell-based energy systems tailored for the harsh marine environment. Delivering 225 kW of clean, zero-emission power, the system is:
- Modular and compact for ease of integration
- Suitable for both new builds and retrofits
- Designed to reduce emissions, vibration, and maintenance
It is particularly aligned with IMO decarbonisation targets and EU’s Fit for 55 strategy, making it an ideal solution for shipowners looking to future-proof their vessels.
Boosting Hydrogen Adoption in Maritime
With Lloyd’s Register’s endorsement, PowerCell’s system is now positioned for commercial deployment across a variety of vessels such as:
- Ferries
- Patrol boats
- Offshore support vessels
- Workboats
Lisa Kylhammar, SVP Engineering at PowerCell Group, stated:
“This type approval is not just a technical validation; it’s a strong signal to the maritime industry that hydrogen fuel cell systems are viable, safe, and ready for deployment at sea. Type approval simplifies the design, construction, and operation of future clean ships.”
Showcasing Innovation
PowerCell will present the Marine System 225 and other clean energy maritime solutions at the upcoming Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo in Amsterdam, taking place June 24–26, 2025. The company aims to drive the maritime sector’s shift towards zero-emission propulsion through scalable, proven technology.
