Wilhelmsen Group has revealed a project to develop a hydrogen-fuelled ro-ro.

The Norwegian company said it has been awarded €8m ($9.5m) in European funding for the HySHIP vessel.

The project includes 14 European partners, collaborating on the design and construction of a new demonstration ship to be operated by Wilhelmsen.

The vessel, dubbed Topeka, will run on liquid green hydrogen (LH2).
