Posted on: July 12 2011
It is five years since the idea arose to build a by hydrogen driven passenger vessel. At last, the Nemo H2, the official name of the boat, will be sailing in the canals of Amsterdam this summer.

The boat was developed by a consortium of companies, namely:
- shipowning company Lovers;
- Linde Gas Benelux,
- Integral;
- Alewijnse Marine Systems;
- Marine Service Noord.

Latter two companies together with third partner Shipyard De Kaap are also responsible for the boat's construction, for which they set up the company Fuel Cell Boat Construction B.V..

Marine Service Noord B.V. designed, produced and installed the fuel cell power, hydrogen storage and H2 distribution system. For this boat MSN specially developed a valve block which regulates the hydrogen supply.
