Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation Focus Emphasised with Approval-in-Principle for GEVs Pilot Hydrogen Vessel

The technology group Wärtsilä’s cooperation with the Australian energy transportation company Global Energy Ventures (GEV) has resulted in GEV successfully obtaining Approval-in-Principle (AiP) for its pilot scale 430 tonne C-H2 Carrier vessel. The AiP was awarded by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) in early October 2021.

The pilot compressed hydrogen vessel is a highly functional Handymax sized gas carrier designed to advance the commercialisation of green hydrogen projects.
