As disclosed, the contract is valued at just over SEK 40 million ($4.2 million) and includes 14 Marine System 225 units as well as engineering services. Deliveries are scheduled for 2026/2027.
At 85 meters long, with a deadweight capacity of 4,000 tons, the vessels are expected to be the “first hydrogen-powered bulk carriers in the world” when launched in early 2027.
It is understood that GMI Rederi is developing the vessels, while the engineering, integration, and certification process for the hydrogen system will be handled by eCap Marine, a German ship integrator specializing in green propulsion solutions.
