Norwegian maritime player EDGE Navigation and compatriot classification society DNV have signed an agreement to jointly develop a classification framework for a 20,000 cbm ocean-going liquid hydrogen (LH2) carrier.
The vessel, currently under development by EDGE in collaboration with its chosen shipyard, will reportedly be designed for near-sea LH2 transport routes around Europe. As informed, it will be powered by zero-emission hydrogen propulsion to enable operations aligned with renewable energy supply chain requirements.
