Cummins’ hydrogen fuel cells are being integrated into North America’s first commercial hydrogen fuel cell powered ferry.
A 70-foot, 75 passenger, zero-emission ferry named “Sea Change” will be the flagship for a planned future fuel cell powered fleet in the bay area of San Francisco. The project is designed to demonstrate and test the potential commercialization of fuel-cell powered marine vessels in the global maritime industry.
The Sea Change will be powered by Cummins’ 360kW fuel cell, reaching seeds up to 22 knots. Hydrogen is supplied to the fuel cell creating electricity to run the electric motors and turn the vessel’s propellers. The Sea Change is in the final phases of construction and set to begin sea trials later this year.
