Samsung Heavy Industries announced on Nov. 9 that it has obtained approval in principle (AIP) for a liquid hydrogen fuel cell system for ship propulsion from DNV, a Norwegian classification organization.
The system propels a vessel using the electric power generated by liquid hydrogen and polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Samsung Heavy Industries developed the system through joint research with Korean hydrogen-related companies and received a classification certificate.
To commercialize the hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system, Samsung Heavy Industries cooperated with Pusan National University’s Hydrogen Ship Technology Center, DNV and Korean companies.
