Norway’s Gen2 Energy has revealed a plan to design and build two vessels that will carry compressed hydrogen in containers.
The producer has brought in domestic company Sirius Design & Integration to develop the specialised ships.
They will carry “large quantities” of the zero-carbon gas.
The carriers will be 190 metres long and transport 500 40-foot boxes.
The idea is to leave the smallest possible carbon footprint through zero-emissions operations.
Using hydrogen in the propulsion systems of the vessels will be part of the design work, which is said to be well underway.
“This agreement is a definitive breakthrough for us and shows that we have brought with us the best of the best,” said Sirius chief executive Havard Saetre.
