CMB.TECH and Boeckmans have decided to make their contribution with the development of four future-proof, hydrogen-powered 5,000 dwt general cargo vessels with reduced greenhouse emissions. The designThe general cargo vessel, designed jointly with Handelskade, will contain diesel-electric engines placed under the ship’s forward accommodation. We succeeded in reducing emissions by 40 per cent compared to traditional general cargo vessels in diesel mode. This can be reduced even further by implementing new sustainable propulsion systems and creating storage space for fuels such as hydrogen. Our commitment to reducing emissions through the design of these cargo ships is a huge step forward.
