FLAGSHIPS has raised the readiness of zero-emission shipping
The final event of FLAGSHIPS showed that the technology for clean waterborne transport is ready. Now the ecosystem around it must scale to support wider deployment.
Our European partners have expertise in ship operations, fuel cell technology, electrical power systems, ship design and energy management.
FLAGSHIPS takes zero-emission waterborne transport to the next level by deploying two hydrogen-powered vessels in commercial operation.

The final event of FLAGSHIPS showed that the technology for clean waterborne transport is ready. Now the ecosystem around it must scale to support wider deployment.

Hydrogen fuel cells are moving from pilot projects to commercial operations. At a joint project seminar in Espoo, Finland, one key question topped the agenda: how do we scale fuel cells in maritime applications?

Project coordinator Jyrki Mikkola (VTT) took the stage at the EFCF 2025 conference in Lucerne to share results from the two full-scale zero-emission shipping demonstrations.
