TransShip II - RV Prince Madog Hydrogen Retrofit

TransShip II将展示使用压缩氢来推动研究和调查船RV Prince Madog作为世界领先的海洋科学平台在运营期间实现零排放。该项目将安装储氢装置、燃料电池和电池系统，并将其与现有的传动系统集成，以零排放燃料提供高达6节的低速和静音运行。同时，该项目将在船上安装创新的，受自然启发的螺旋桨和管道设计，旨在显着降低船舶的能源需求。该项目将安装一个海上加油设施，能够向王子马多格号提供足够的氢气，以使其研究和教学活动脱碳，这将通过项目示范和船舶的商业运营进行演示。这将是世界上第一个如此规模和运营的项目，突出了英国海运业和供应链的技能，并进一步加强了英国在具有全球潜力的海运业中的地位，并迅速推动实现净零排放。

TransShip II will demonstrate the use of compressed hydrogen to propel the research and survey vessel RV Prince Madog with zero emission during its operation as a world leading maritime science platform. The project will install hydrogen storage, fuel cell and battery system and integrate this with the existing drive train to provide slow speed and silent operation up to 6knots from zero emission fuel. Simultaneously, the project will install innovative, nature-inspired propeller and duct design on the vessel aiming to reduce the energy requirement of the vessel significantly.The project will install a marine bunkering facility capable of supplying sufficient hydrogen to the Prince Madog to decarbonise its research and teaching activities which will be demonstrated through project demonstration and commercial operation of the vessel. This will be a world's first at this scale and operation, highlighting the skills of the UK maritime industry and supply chain and further strengthen the UKs position in a maritime industry with global potential and rapid drive to net zero.
