BV to class Møre Sjø's 2+2 hydrogen-powered cargo ships
French classification society Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV) has entered into a contract with Turkish Gelibolu Shipyard and German technology company eCap Marine for the classification of 2+2 hydrogen-powered cargo vessels to be built for Norwegian shipowner Møre Sjø AS.
This project is said to represent the first general cargo ships in the BV class to use hydrogen propulsion.
To remind, Møre Sjø placed the order for the construction of green ships in June this year. The company also secured bunker supplies from hydrogen producer GreenH.
