Technical Data
“As a result of this study we deem it feasible from technical, regulatory, and economic perspectives to design, build and operate a coastal research vessel powered solely by hydrogen fuel cells. Such a vessel would offer dramatic environmental benefits, have low airborne and under water noise signatures, and could be conveniently refueled at a number of ports of call by LH2 refueling trailers.”
