A Milestone in Emission-Free Shipping
Celebrating a significant stride towards greener seas, FPS Waal bids farewell to diesel engines, marking the start of its conversion into a hydrogen-powered vessel.
Zero-Emission Propulsion System
In pursuit of 100% emissions-free navigation, the vessel is set for a radical transformation. Out go the internal combustion engines, making room for a cutting-edge propulsion system featuring PEM fuel cells, hydrogen storage, battery packs, and an electric drive train.
Sustainable Future
As weeks unfold, the ship’s inner mechanics undergo a metamorphosis. The removal of main engines and generators ushers in the installation of the new fuel cell section and battery room, propelling FPS Waal towards a sustainable tomorrow.
Collaboration Driving Change
This groundbreaking feat wouldn’t be possible without the collective efforts of FPS’s dedicated team, visionary partners, and supporters including Holland Shipyards Group, Ballard Power Systems, Port of Rotterdam, and numerous organizations committed to sustainable shipping solutions.
