eCap Marine has been awarded an additional contract by GMI to supply hydrogen-based energy systems for two more hydrogen-powered bulk carriers. The two vessels, each with a deadweight capacity of around 3,000 tons, will be constructed by Showgule Shipyards Ltd. in India and are set to enter service in 2029. These vessels will primarily operate in Norwegian coastal waters. eCap Marine will provide a complete hydrogen system solution, including compressed hydrogen storage systems, PEM fuel cell technology with a 1.2 MW output per vessel, and power management, control, and safety systems tailored for maritime use.
This new contract adds to the ongoing projects and strengthens the collaboration between the two companies in the zero-emission shipping sector. GMI's CEO, Torstein Holvik, expressed his ambition to become a leading owner of hydrogen-powered vessels, while eCap Marine's Managing Director, Lars Ravens, highlighted the growing confidence in hydrogen as a viable solution for maritime applications.
