About
ShipFC is a private headquartered in Stord, Norway specializing in Hydrogen.
ShipFC is a European research and development project focused on demonstrating high-power ammonia fuel cell technology for maritime applications. The core demonstrator involves retrofitting an Eidesvik offshore supply vessel (Viking Energy) with a 2MW ammonia fuel cell system, enabling zero-emission operations for up to 3,000 hours annually. The project uses green ammonia produced by electrolysis from Yara's renewable hydrogen plant. Beyond the demonstrator, ShipFC conducts feasibility studies on three additional vessel types (bunker vessel, cargo vessels, and offshore construction vessels) to transfer technology to broader shipping segments, including scalability to 20MW systems. Key activities include safety and reliability analysis, development of maritime bunkering infrastructure, certification schemes for green ammonia, market and business model development, and socio-technical analysis to support commercialization and market entry for large-scale fuel cell power systems in maritime use.
