The ShipFC project has reached a major milestone, as the Norwegian Maritime Authority confirms the feasibility of the ammonia fuel system design for the Eidesvik-owned platform supply vessel, Viking Energy.
Through the EU-funded ShipFC project, the project partners aim to retrofit the platform supply vessel Viking Energy with an ammonia fuel system and a large 2MW solid oxide fuel cell system. This will allow it to sail long distances without emission of greenhouse gases, demonstrating that long-range zero-carbon emission voyages with high power on larger ships are possible.
The ShipFC project is being run by a consortium of 14 European companies and institutions, coordinated by the Norwegian organization Maritime CleanTech. The project is backed by the EU’s Research and Innovation Programme Horizon 2020 under its Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking.
