Hyseas III
As Hyseas III a project to build a deep-sea ferry with fuel cell drive respectively.
Project
The Hyseas III project was started on July 1, 2018 to build an ocean-going ferry. She is being built at the Scottish shipyard Ferguson Shipbuilders in Glasgow . The new building will be powered by fuel cells and is scheduled to operate between the Orkney Islands in 2021 . The hydrogen required to operate the ferry is produced on the Orkney island of Eday by the European Marine Energy Center (EMEC) founded in 2013. The EMEC test site already received a 0.5 MW polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyser in 2016. The electricity for this comes exclusively from wind, wave and tidal power plants . The fuel cell for the ferry is being built by Ballard Power Systems .
The project of the world's first hydrogen-powered deep - sea ferry with fuel cell drive is supported by the EU . The project coordinator is Dr. Martin Smith from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland . In addition to the Ferguson Marine shipyard, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the University of St. Andrews, the Orkney Island Council (both Scotland), Ballard Power Systems (Denmark), Kongsberg Maritime (Norway), Interferry ( Belgium) and McPhy (France) involved.
