HYDROVILLE: World's first accredited passenger vessel to burn both hydrogen and diesel oil

摘要

Hydroville is a custom-designed and built 14m high-speed displacement catamaran, and the first vessel so far passed by a class society to operate with passengers using hydrogen fuel in her propulsion engines, the burning of which produces no CO_2, particulate matter or sulphur oxides. Built by Portchester, UK-based BW Seacat Ltd for owner CMB Technologies of Antwerp, Belgium, using a hydrogen system supplied and installed by Revolve of Essex, UK, the vessel was launched on 5 November 2017 and was blessed at a ceremony at the Royal Yacht Club of Belgium alongside the banks of the River Schelde in Antwerp on 29 November 2017.
