Presentation

An integrator's perspective on hydrogen in marine applications

New technologies need to be designed not only for new futureproof vessels but also so that they can repurpose existing vessels to be greener, more reliable and competitive to operate. Designs must accommodate not only today’s traffic and passenger needs but also the needs of tomorrow. One way to achieve zero emission vessels is through the use of hydrogen or other alternative fuels to diesel. As an experienced integrator in the marine hybrid and electric industry, AKA has been investigating the best way to incorporate hydrogen into the marine industry and will share insights during this presentation.
