  • Norwegian company ‘Norled’ has successfully launched the world’s first ferry that runs on liquid hydrogen. 
  • The vessel, called “MF Hydra”, is a hybrid that uses both batteries and liquid hydrogen fuel cells. 
  • It underwent sea trials for two weeks after initial testing at Hjelmeland quay earlier this year. 
  • The Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA) has given final approval for the ferry to operate. 
  • This milestone achievement is a significant step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime industry, as hydrogen fuel cells produce only clean water as a byproduct.
