Samsung Heavy Industries receives an Approval In Principle from DNV
Samsung Heavy Industries has succeeded in developing a liquefied hydrogen fuel cell system for use in marine propulsion.
The electric power is made of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) to be used as the energy source for a ship's propulsion.
Samsung announced on Wednesday that it has acquired an Approval In Principle (AIP) from DNV, an internationally-accredited registrar and classification society headquartered in Hovik, Norway.
Korean companies Bumhan Fuel Cell, Jungwoo ENE and S&SYS took part in the development.
Samsung Heavy Industries previously worked with Pusan National University, DNV, and other companies to commercialize the hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system.
