Green Shipping Corridors: Feasibility of the world’s first hydrogen powered North Sea crossing

ACUA Ocean是一家清洁海事初创公司，设计了一艘由液氢驱动的零排放SWATH船，能够在公海运输和运输4.5吨有效载荷。我们正在与阿伯丁港合作，阿伯丁港是支持新创新的领导者，拥有世界级的基础设施，理想的定位是进入北海和海上可再生能源领域。这项可行性研究为2024年从英国阿伯丁港到挪威的世界上第一个氢动力零排放过境示范制定了详细的项目计划，这是一条经济上重要的潜在绿色航运走廊路线。英国对挪威的出口总额为68亿英镑（2021年第四季度），而英国从挪威的进口总额为286亿英镑。在COP26上发表的《克莱德斯班克宣言》（Clydesbank Declaration）加速了短途海运和绿色航运走廊的评估，方法是在价值链上建立利益相关者伙伴关系，包括港口和运营商，以加速海上净零运营，提供更具可持续性和弹性的运输路线，释放沿海经济并消除道路网络的交通。在英国，运输部正在寻求实施国家承诺，例如船舶运营商关于替代燃料船舶的近期计划；早期推动者正在关注的燃料和技术途径及其原因；在与英国有航运联系的国家探索绿色走廊的合作机会；试点和示范计划；早期的行动者需要政府提供什么样的支持来支持他们的计划？ACUA船的开发是为了配合英国政府雄心勃勃的海上脱碳议程。该政策在海事2050和英国海事技术与创新（TIUK）路线图中提出，规定到2025年，所有在英国水域建造和运营的新船都要实现零排放推进。该船将从2023年9月开始进行测试。该项目通过开发新的氢风险和监管评估、技术爆炸和加油分析，以及扩大港口氢燃料安全运行的用例，进一步推进了阿伯丁港进行的题为“氢港”的基线研究。该项目将审查技术船的设计和配置（包括稳定性和压载），以及分析acas SWATH船上液态氢的安全储存，用于公海穿越。我们将与劳氏船级社和MCA作为该项目的分包商合作，以确保任务计划符合监管标准。

ACUA Ocean is a clean-maritime start-up that has designed a zero-emission SWATH vessel powered by liquid-hydrogen, capable of open ocean transits and transportation of a 4.5ton payload.We are partnering with the Port of Aberdeen, a leader in supporting new innovation with world-class infrastructure, ideally positioned for access to the North Sea and offshore renewables sector.This feasibility study develops a detailed project plan for the world's first hydrogen-powered zero-emission crossing demonstration from the Port of Aberdeen in the UK, to Norway in 2024, an economically important potential green shipping corridor route. UK exports to Norway amounting to £6.8bn (Q4 2021), while total UK imports from Norway amounted to £28.6bn.The Clydesbank Declaration at COP26, accelerates the assessment of short-sea shipping and green shipping corridors by establishing stakeholder partnerships along the value chain, including Ports and operators to accelerate net-zero maritime operations and deliver more sustainable and resilient transport routes, unlocking coastal economies and removing traffic for road networks.In the UK, the Department for Transport is looking to operationalise national commitments such as ship operators' near-term plans regarding alternatively fuelled vessels; fuel and technology pathways early movers are looking at and why; collaboration opportunities in countries with shipping links to the UK exploring green corridors; pilots and demonstration plans; and what support would early movers need from the government to support their plans.The ACUA vessel was developed to align with the UK Government's ambitious agenda for maritime decarbonisation. The policy, set out in Maritime 2050 and the Technology and Innovation in UK Maritime (TIUK) route-map, legislates for all new vessels built and operating in UK waters to be zero-emission propulsion by 2025.The vessel will undergo testing from September 2023\.The project furthers baseline research conducted by the Port of Aberdeen entitled "Hydrogen Port" by developing new hydrogen risk and regulatory assessments, technical blast and bunkering analysis and expanding use-cases for the safe operation of hydrogen fuels in the Port.The project will review the technical vessel design and configuration (including stability and ballasting) as well as analysis of the safe storage of liquid-hydrogen on board ACUAs SWATH vessel for open ocean crossings. We will be working with Lloyd's Register and the MCA as subcontractors on the project to ensure the mission plan meets regulatory standards.
