Gen2 Energy has secured a contract with Sirius Develop & Integration to design two specialized ships for transporting huge volumes of compressed hydrogen containers.
The ships, which will be 190 meters long and powered by hydrogen, will be able to transport 500 forty-foot containers.
Gen2 Energy is actively constructing large-scale hydrogen production at Mosjen, Norway, with the goal of exporting part of the fuel to northern European countries.
“Transporting hydrogen is difficult, and we’re thrilled to be at the forefront of technological development, allowing cost-effective, safe, and environmentally friendly logistical solutions.” We are convinced that by collaborating with Sirius D&I’s experienced team, we will achieve our objectives and be ready to supply hydrogen to our customers when production begins,” stated Jonas Meyer, CEO of Gen2 Energy. Mosjen will begin manufacturing in the first part of 2024, according to the corporation.
Currently, the fledgling seaborne trades of hydrogen are focusing on transporting it in liquid form at extremely low temperatures, with the Japanese just completing the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier, the Susio Frontier, with a load of hydrogen from Australia. The project’s supporters, led by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, are currently developing bigger ship designs.
