Recently, 14 leading companies from across Europe came together at the ECOMAT Center in Bremen to kick off this ambitious initiative. By bringing together expertise from the space industry, shipbuilding, transportation, and energy and safety, NavHyS aims to advance sustainable shipping technologies and support the decarbonisation targets of the EU Green Deal in this sector. 🌍 🌱 🔧 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 ✅Innovative below-deck liquid hydrogen storage and fuel system ✅Adapted to a Service Operating Vessel (SOV) ✅ Compatible with any propulsion system ✅ Supplying gaseous hydrogen at 5 bar and ambient temperature ✅Producing from 500kW to 2MW. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 👉 Liquid hydrogen is a promising alternative to traditional fuels for long-distance shipping- combining signicant emission reduction potential with high energy density 👉  But there’s a catch: storing it onboard requires cryogenic temperatures of -253°C, making practical deployment a major challenge 👉 NavHyS is directly addressing this challenge by combining cross-sector expertise to develop innovative storing technologies. 🚀 𝗞𝗶𝗰𝗸-𝗢𝗳𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 📌 Presentation of Work Packages – from LH2 storage design to ship integration 📌 Interactive workshops to foster collaboration 📌 Visits to the ArianeGroup Ariane 6 Center and Airbus facilities   We are proud to be part of this cutting-edge project, with a great team motivated to push hydrogen innovation forward and help decarbonise the future of shipping! ✨⚓🌍 North Star, VARD, INERIS, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Bureau Veritas | Marine & Offshore, Leitat Technological Center, University of Birmingham, ERIG - European Research Institute for Gas and Energy Innovation AISBL, Gas and Heat S.p.A, Benkei, Maritimes Cluster Norddeutschland e.

Fostering future talent. 🚀 On April 3, Vard Shipyards Romania – Braila welcomed 20 students from the Faculty of Naval Architecture at “Universitatea „Dunărea de Jos” din Galați”. During their visit, the students explored the shipyard’s manufacturing processes and witnessed a special moment - the launch of hull NB 982, the fourth Commissioning Service Operations Vessel (CSOV) built in Braila for Norwind Offshore. They also had the chance to step inside the newly launched vessel and experience the result of shipbuilding up close. 🚢 We’re always proud to inspire the next generation of naval architects and engineers. Wishing these students all the best - the future of shipbuilding looks bright! 🌟 #shipbuilding #futuretalent #maritimeindustry #sustainablebusinessatsea
