The ocean shipping industry is one of the sectors aiming to reduce GHG emissions on a global scale, with Japan as one of the countries that face specific needs to reduce GHG output.
The companies agreed on a partnership to promote the Zero Emission Speed Shuttle (ZESST) and enter the Japanese market. ZESST is an innovative hydrogen-fueled, electric-powered, zero-emission passenger shuttle vessel developed by Almatech.
