The Port of Antwerp-Bruges and CMB.TECH have launched the Hydrotug 1, the world’s first hydrogen-powered tugboat.
The Hydrotug 1 is the first tugboat in the world to be powered by combustion engines that burn hydrogen in combination with traditional fuel. It is the first vessel that uses the BeHydro V12 dual fuel medium speed engines – each providing two megawatts – with the latest EU Stage V emissions after treatment. With these engines, the vessel uses clean fuels, resulting in an overall reduction of 65% of traditional fuel consumption and associated emissions in the tugboat’s overall cycle. The Hydrotug 1 can store 415 kg of compressed hydrogen in six stillages installed on deck.
