China has unveiled its first hydrogen-powered container ship in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, according to reports from Chinese media.
The 64.5-metre-long vessel can carry 64 TEU containers and is powered by two 240 kW hydrogen fuel cell systems, providing the ship with a range of 380km.
As Chinese media reported, the ship is equipped with the largest hydrogen fuel cell ever installed on a vessel, with a hydrogen storage system capacity of 550kg.
Following the launch, the ship will undergo testing and is expected to begin operations in 2025. It will serve on an inland shipping route between Zhapu Port in Jiaxing and Xiasha Port in Hangzhou, both located in Zhejiang Province.
This route is set to become China’s first green hydrogen-powered inland container transport line.
