據12月17日offshore energy消息：挪威航運公司Northern Xplorer公布了號稱世界上第一艘氫動力零排放游輪的概念。
據披露，該公司目前的計劃包括一系列14艘船。這些船只將采用清潔技術，包括全電力推進、電池儲能、氫燃料電池和輔助可再生能源供應(風能和太陽能)。
此外，船舶將配備用于防止病原體傳播的加熱、通風和空調(HVAC)系統，同時廣泛使用可回收材料將促進循環。
他們還將使用激光雷達技術來探測海洋塑料碎片，并提高人們對海洋污染的意識。據Northern Xplorer稱，所有能夠容納300名乘客的船只都將進行性能優化，以提高能源效率并減少燃料消耗。
“乘坐較小的船只進行低影響的探索旅行，比擁擠的船只和游客眾多的景點更可取。該公司創始人兼首席執行官Rolf André Sandvik說:“在遠洋和內河巡航之間的某個地方，對于那些想要更親密的船上體驗、近距離了解新文化并帶著度假的感覺離開的人來說，這是最好的選擇但對當地社區和地球都是積極的。”
首批船舶計劃于2024/2025年投入運營。
通過這個新項目，Northern Xplorer旨在實現未來的零排放目標。特別是在挪威，2026年生效的新政府法規將強制在Geirangerfjord和N?r?yfjord實施零排放。
“這將意味著在世界上第一個零排放海域航行的污染游輪的終結。Northern Xplorer提供了零排放解決方案，重點關注本地價值創造和賦權。”Sandvik總結道。

World’s first hydrogen-powered cruise ship concept unveiled
Norwegian shipping company Northern Xplorer has unveiled what it claims to be the world’s first hydrogen-powered zero-emission cruise ship concept.
As disclosed, the company’s current plan includes a series of 14 ships. The ships will feature clean technologies including fully electric propulsion, battery energy storage, hydrogen fuel cells and auxiliary renewable energy supply (wind and solar power).
Furthermore, the ships will be equipped with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems used to safeguard against pathogen spread while extensive use of recyclable materials will promote circularity.
They will also have LADAR technology to detect marine plastic debris and raise awareness of maritime pollution. All the vessels, which will be able to accommodate up to 300 passengers, will be performance-optimized for energy efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, according to Northern Xplorer.
“Low-impact discovery travel in smaller vessels is infinitely preferable to overcrowded ships and marquee destinations teeming with tourists. Somewhere between ocean and river cruising, it’s for those who want a more intimate on-board experience, to get insights into a new culture up close, and leave with the feeling their holidays have contributed positively to local communities and the planet,” said the company’s founder and CEO Rolf André Sandvik.
The first ships are intended to be operational from 2024/2025.
With this new project, Northern Xplorer aims to meet future zero-emission targets. In Norway specifically, new government regulation coming into force from 2026 will make zero-emissions mandatory in Geirangerfjord and N?r?yfjord.
“This will mean the end of polluting cruise ships sailing in what will be the world’s first zero-emission marine zones. Northern Xplorer provides the … zero-emission solution with a strong focus on local value creation and empowerment,” Sandvik concluded.
