The Lysaker, Norway-based company said this marks a significant step forward in the development of sustainable propulsion solutions for the maritime industry.
No showstopper conditions
The AIP came with no showstopper conditions, affirming the viability and safety of TECO 2030's compressed hydrogen fuel system design.
'This recognition validates our commitment and competence [in] driving sustainability in the maritime sector and underscores the potential of hydrogen as a clean energy solution for the future of shipping,' said Tore Enger, group CEO, TECO 2030. 'We remain dedicated to advancing our technology and working collaboratively with industry partners to accelerate the transition towards zero-emission shipping.'
Applicable for all ship types
The systems are designed to be applicable for all ship types and encompass essential components such as the bunkering system, inerted tank connection space, fuel storage hold space, fuel supply system (including pressure control) and gas relief system.
TECO 2030 adhered to the alternative design approach outlined in MSC.1 - Circ.1455 for the final approval of the systems. This approach, it said, ensures rigorous evaluation and compliance with industry standards, enhancing confidence in the technology's reliability and efficiency.
Prior to construction and installation on any vessel subject to classification, TECO 2030 will provide complete DNV-reviewed documentation tailored to the particular ship.
