Havyard said Monday it has been contracted to develop a new emissions-free ship concept for transporting cargo between European ports.
The contracting partner, an unnamed European company, was first introduced to Havyard by Invest in Norway, who has been working with this company for the last two years in supporting their entry to the Norwegian maritime industry, Havyard said.
Lars Conradi Andersen, Vice President Sales, said, "The framework for this contract is to develop a ship that uses hydrogen-based fuel as its primary energy source while at the same time giving the client an effective and safe ship. The goal is to design a large ship that can sail longer distances with zero emissions."
