Following months of energy profiling, the 110-metre inland container vessel will be retrofitted at the Holland Shipyards Group’s yard in Hardinxveld throughout the third quarter of 2021.
It is expected to be sailing 100 per cent on hydrogen power by December of this year, FPS said in its statement on Wednesday.
The retrofit process includes the replacement of internal combustion technology with hydrogen technology, removing both the main engine and gearbox, and installing a new modular propulsion system.
