Recently, India's Cochin Shipyard has held a steel cutting ceremony for the next generation hydrogen fuel cell powered feeder container ship "Samskip SeaShuttle" built by Dutch logistics solutions provider Samskip, marking the ship's official entry into the construction phase.
Samskip ordered 2+2 hydrogen fuel cell powered feeder container ships to Cochin Shipyard in India in March 2023, with a total value of 5.5 billion rupees (about 457 million yuan at the time), and the first two ships will be delivered in the third and fourth quarters of 2025.
The project is co-financed by ENOVA, a Norwegian state-owned company. It is said to be the world's first zero-emission feeder container ship to use green hydrogen as fuel and will operate between Oslofjord and Rotterdam, a distance of about 700 nautical miles.
This type of feeder container ship is 135 meters long and carries about 365 45-foot containers. The new vessel will be powered by a 3.2 MW hydrogen fuel cell and equipped with hydrogen fuel storage facilities; Equipped with MAN 12V175D-MEV variable speed generator set as a backup generator set, and permanent magnet generator to form a diesel electric propulsion device to extend the endurance time; Equipped with azimuth thrusters for high maneuverability.
In zero-emission mode, each ship is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by about 25,000 tonnes per year. Shore power will be used when docked in port to enable zero-emission operations.
In addition will provide power, propulsion and automation packages for the two new vessels, including, in addition to integrated hydrogen fuel cells, a new compact ABB shipboard DC grid distribution system that will ensure optimal utilization of energy on board.
