Tromso-based ferry operator Torghatten Nord AS has signed a hydrogen supply deal with GreenH AS for its new ferries.
The two hydrogen-fuelled ferries will operate year-round and will daily require 5-6 t green hydrogen. As an additional operation safety requirement, the units will also be able to utilize other fuels. There is a requirement stipulating that minimum 85 percent of the two ferries’ energy consumption on an annual basis should be hydrogen. Hydrogen should be produced with low climate gas emissions.
The new ferries will be about 120 meters long and with a capacity to carry 120 cars and 599 passengers.
Norwegian Ship Design, which focuses on designing zero-emission and future-proof ships, has been selected to design the RoPax newbuilds.
