Dutch shipping company Future Proof Shipping (FPS) officially launched its first hydrogen-powered inland container ship, H2 Barge 1, in Rotterdam, claiming it is a zero-emissions vessel. The ship was retrofitted with money coming from state coffers.
Nike introduced the H2 Barge 1 at its European Logistics Campus in Laakdal, Belgium. As part of its journey toward a zero carbon and zero waste future, Nike is partnering with FPS and BCTN Network of Inland Terminals, to accelerate zero-emission shipping.
Future Proof Shipping’s zero-emissions 110 m by 11.45 m inland containership, H2 Barge 1 is chartered by BCTN on behalf of Nike. The vessel, expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2,000 tonnes of CO2e per year, will sail between Rotterdam and BCTN’s inland terminal in Meerhout several times a week.
