Our Secretary General, Madadh MacLaine, had the honour of speaking at the launch of Future Proof Shipping Waal. In a historic moment that marks a significant leap towards the future of transport, key stakeholders and innovators in the field of zero-emission technology gathered at Holland Shipyards Group's Werkendam facility, near Rotterdam, to witness the unveiling of the H2 Barge 2. This pioneering vessel, a beacon of future-proof shipping, has been meticulously transformed from a conventional containership into a state-of-the-art, hydrogen-powered cargo vessel. Secretary General Madadh MacLaine, among the distinguished attendees, celebrated this remarkable achievement alongside representatives from Future Proof Shipping, the Flagships project, and the ZEM Ports NS project. The H2 Barge 2, now ready to ply the Rhine with its revolutionary 100% emission-free propulsion system, signifies a monumental stride in the maritime industry's journey towards eliminating carbon emissions. Its deployment not only showcases the tangible advancements in retrofitting existing vessels with green technology but also underlines the collective resolve of the maritime community to champion solutions for a cleaner future. This event, a testament to collaboration and innovation, heralds a new era where the dream of zero-emission waterborne transport becomes a reality, paving the way for a future focused on sustainability and innovation.

Dutch shipping company Longship has received Longera, the first of four ultra-low-emission, diesel-electric general cargo ships from Türkiye’s Atlas Shipyard, on June 25, 2024. This delivery culminates three years of dedicated research and development in pursuit of fleet sustainability. Longera, the first of four 8,600 dwt newbuilds ordered in January last year, boasts a cutting-edge diesel-electric propulsion system that cuts consumption by about 45% compared to similar ships and meets EU Stage V standards for non-road mobile machinery. The vessel is also methanol-ready as a hybrid alternative. Longera’s maiden voyage, transporting windmill blades, underscores Longship’s dedication to a sustainable future. #longship #atlasshipyards #longera #dieselelectricpropulsion ##dieselelectricgenerators #lowemissionships #cargoship

We started our journey to push the maritime industry to a more sustainable place in 2005 and have been working hard ever since to achieve that goal. But this ambitious vision wouldn't be within reach without the support and collaboration of industry leaders. Damen has stood by our side, inspiring us with their commitment to innovation. Our partnership isn't just about shared values—it's about impact. Their dedication to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in maritime technology mirrors our own aspirations. Together, we're proving that sustainable change is not only desirable but achievable. Damen's ventures, such as the Multi Cat 1908 Electric and the SOV E, show their commitment. These vessels represent a significant leap forward in reducing the environmental footprint of maritime operations. They demonstrate that the future of shipping is not just a concept but a reality that's within our grasp. Our collaboration with Damen plays a crucial role in achieving our broader goal of advocating for infrastructure and legislation that support the development and adoption of green vessels. By showcasing the viability and effectiveness of sustainable technologies, we're not only revolutionising the maritime industry but also paving the way for a regulatory environment that fosters the growth of environmentally friendly practices. #TUDelftHydroMotionTeam #HydroMotion #HydroMotionTeam #TUDelft #flying #boat #hydrogen #hydrogenboat #sustainable #sustainability #innovation #students #challengethefuture #dreamteam #sustainablefuel #DamenShipyards

📹 Behind the scenes at the launch of H2 Barge 2 (formerly FPS Waal)! Our second fully zero emissions ship was launched last month at the Holland Shipyards Group yard in Werkendam. This hydrogen-powered vessel will ship goods completely emission-free on the Rhine between Rotterdam (NL) and Duisburg (DE). Successfully launching our second hydrogen-powered inland cargo vessel is just as important an achievement as the first, not just for Future Proof Shipping, ZEM Ports NS, and the Flagships project, but for the future of green shipping. This vessel now sets the standard for inland shipping and beyond! #H2Barge2 #zeroemissions #shipsandshipping with Holland Shipyards Group, Ballard Power Systems, and partners and supporters at the Port of Rotterdam, Expertise- en InnovatieCentrum Binnenvaart (EICB), Zero Emissions Ship Technology Association (ZESTAs), WaterborneTP, NSHyMap, RH2INE and NCE Maritime CleanTech. This project was made possible with funding support from the Interreg North Sea Programme (Zero Emission Ports North Sea - ZEM Ports NS), Flagships H2020 Project (Clean Hydrogen Partnership), and Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) | Partner in Sustainable Development

Great presentations and discussions yesterday at the Maritime Forum 2024 organised by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK at the Royal Thames Yacht Club Limited. I was especially interested to hear about the innovations by Artemis Racing, Wallenius Lines, and Stena AB on the path to net zero and the "challenge of the first mover". One question still bugs me, though, so if anyone can answer it here feel free: if they do start installing charging points on wind turbines and that will make the use of e-boats viable for service, what happens if the boat gets there and the charging point doesn't work? You can't just hop out and push the boat to the next wind turbine, can you? Talk about range anxiety! The Reality of Shipping panel (pictured) discussed the resiliency of shipping in the face of current world events. Who knew that it is difficult to sell a ship these days and make sure it doesn't end up in the shadow fleet? Or that back in the neolithic era the existing shipping insurers didn't want to insure a wooden boat with a steam engine added? (Well that one perhaps isn't that surprising.) Thank you Iain Percy, Philip Roche, Jacob Norrby, Heike Deggim, Per Tunell, Tord Nilsson, and everyone else present for an enjoyable and informative evening. #sustainability #shipping #innovation
