Christening of the ZULU 06
The first French hydrogen-powered self-propeller barge.
December 3 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
ZULU 06, the second demonstrator vessel in the FLAGSHIPS project, is ready to set sail on the Seine.
The hydrogen cargo transport vessel is owned by French inland shipowner Compagnie Fluvial de Transport, a subsidiary of the Sogestran Group. It will move goods on pallets and in containers from Gennevilliers to Bonneuil Sur Marne.
The vessel will operate on compressed hydrogen produced from electrolysis, enabling zero-emission operations. ABB Marine & Ports has supplied the power generation system for ZULU 06 with two 200 kW PEM fuel cells from Ballard. LMG Marin is responsible for detailed design drawings.
The christening event is organised by Sogestran Group in partnership with Navigable Waterways of France, France Hydrogène, and the Flagships project.
Attendance at this event is by invitation only.
