The H2Ocean hydrogen-powered rigid inflatable boat (RIB), a zero-emissions solution suitable for tourism, commercial and leisure activities, began sea trials in January 2025. The boat can be adapted to suit the environment and operations of the end user and equipped to carry up to 12 people, making it ideal for tourism and ferrying activities – or fewer people and specialist equipment for Coastguard, servicing and event-based activities.
The boat carries 18kg of 350-bar hydrogen gas, supplied to a fuel cell, which in turn maintains charging to a battery bank that is used to power the two electric stern legs.
