The project study is funded by
Sharing knowledge to accelerate zero emission maritime solutions
This project aims to research and propose a cost competitive hydrogen value chain that can support and accelerate the transition to zero emission shipping solutions.
“We see wide benefits of working with Vard and the project partners. We have the technology needed to store and distribute compressed hydrogen in a large scale and look forward to sharing our expertise, says
The project will be conducted using an already developed concept design platform of the ZeroCoaster cargo ship prepared by Vard. By using simulation-driven-ship-design, the project will develop economic and technical key performance indicators for the use of alternative fuels on ships.
The project is scheduled for completion by end of 2021.

Facts about ZeroCoaster:
Through the pilot project within Green Shipping Program, a concept design has already been developed, with focus on flexibility and modularity. This is achieved with a scalable hull and modular power generation. This concept design will now be added to a production-ready design, with the necessary drawings and specifications, and will cover ship sizes of 2000 to 8000 deadweight tonnage. It is precisely within these segments that the need for fleet renewal is greatest.
