Vessel information
Project name: Hydrogen Viking
Project leader: Grennstat
Contact: Vegard Frihammer, vegard@greenstat.no
The boat is beside the quay in Bergen, the project project was halted due to a lack of funding, however there is work ongoing behind the scenes.
An application is soon to be sent in to the Sustainable Energy Catapult Center in Stord for funds for basic on-board infrastructure. The company that owns the vessel witll also be restructured to enable the purchasing of shares, with the aim of raising 5 million NOK. If successful, they will be able to start upgrading the vessel just after New Year 2020.
A study has also been conducted by NHH where the use of the boat as an educational arena (school trips etc…) has been considered. The concept of Phoenix was then developed and is something that is being looked into. Christian Erichsen was the project manager and the project was supported by Design Arena Bergen.
