DNV Report Finds Hydrogen Ships Face Major Safety Cost Hurdles
Key Takeaways
- DNV's EMSA-commissioned study finds hydrogen shipping requires fundamental vessel redesign, not just fuel system swaps
- Hydrogen's wide flammability range (4–75% in air) and molecular permeation demand costly containment and ventilation systems
- Short-sea ferries and harbor vessels remain better candidates for hydrogen than deep-sea cargo ships
