MF Hydra is the world's first liquid hydrogen-powered ferry. Delivered in 2021, the 82.4-meter-long vessel can accommodate up to 300 passengers and 80 vehicles.[1] It has two 200 kW fuel cells, two 440 kW generators, and two Shottel thrusters.[2] It is able to move at a speed of 9 knots.[3] With its 80 cbm hydrogen storage tank, the ferry is estimated to be able to reduce its annual carbon emissions by up to 95%. The vessel is operated by the Norwegian company Norled.[4] [5] The hydrogen is created with renewable energy in Germany and transported to Norway.[6]
