Future Proof Shipping to retrofit two more vessels to run on hydrogen

Dutch marine transportation service provider Future Proof Shipping has acquired two more vessels to retrofit them with zero-emissions hydrogen propulsion systems.

Previously, FPS replaced the existing internal combustion engines with hydrogen fuel cell technology on its vessel Maas. The retrofit process also included removing both the main engine and gearbox and installing a new modular propulsion system.

It said this retrofit will be used as a reference for other similar vessels and added that this development fits with its overall plan to convert as many vessels as it can to zero emissions as soon as possible.

CEO Richard Klatten stressed: “Our fleet is already available for charter and shippers can even book now to ship their cargo.”

Above all, the company wants to make hydrogen-based shipping technically and commercially viable. Future Proof Shipping is opening up zero-emission slots and making zero-emissions shipping accessible to everyone.
