Fuel Cell Boat

 
 

Specifications

The specifications of the Fuel Cell Boat according to the most recent design and plans :
  • Passengers: 87 + 1 Staff (Weight up to 100 persons)
  • Sizes: 21.95 m long and 4,25 m wide
  • Draught: 1 meter, gangway 65 cm above the waterline
  • 1 electrical stern thruster
    • This Voith Inline Thruster is a shaftless bi-directional propellor; the propellor housing can rotate more than 180º (electro-mechanically)
  • 1 electrical bow thruster
    • The Kalkman Epsylon bow thruster is a type of water jet system. The exhaust can rotate 360º (electro-mechanically) thus supporting side moves as well as enhancing foreward or backward propulsion. It works as a high power auxillary thruster.
    • This high power bow thruster allows the shipper to reach banks or quaysides in case of emergency.
  • Hybride power system: 60-70 kW PEM fuel cell with 30-50kW batteries
    • Fuel cells perform with the highest energy efficiency at a continuous equal load. The demand of energy will show peaks. For high energy demand (peaks) the fuel cell boat is supplied with a large battery park.
  • Hydrogen storage: 24 kg stored in 6 cylindrical bottles at a pressure of 35 MPa
  • Maximum speed: 16 km/hour
  • Radius: depending on speed; indication 9 hours at a speed of 7,5 knts
