South Korean yard giant Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) has said it is working on a new liquefied hydrogen fuel tank.

The Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings shipbuilding unit is teaming up with steel group Posco, the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) and Hylium Industries, a developer of hydrogen technology solutions, for the project.

The aim is to have a trial tank ready for smaller ships by the end of this year, and then move on to systems for larger vessels, KSOE said.
