YEONGAM, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VINSSEN (CEO Lee Chil-Han), a maritime technology specialist in eco-friendly vessels and propulsion systems, has been awarded AIP Certification from Korean Register (Chairman Lee Hyung-Chul) for its in-house developed 100kW Marine Fuel Cell Module.
This certification is the first in a four-stage evaluation process for new technologies and is significant as it attests to viability of the design plan by the reputable Korean Register. This follows VINSSEN’s receipt of Type Approval for its Marine Lithium-Ion Battery System from Korean Register and Korea Maritime Transportation Safety Authority (KOMSA) in 2023.
The 100kW Marine Fuel Cell Module consists of a Fuel Cell Stack and Balance of Plant (BOP) that includes a Hydrogen Supply Device, Air Supply Device, Cooling Device, among other components. This is an integrated system that powers both the propulsion system as well as various auxiliary devices on-board. VINSSEN’s Fuel Cell Module uses Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) technology, which offers advantages in deployment onboard smaller vessels.
VINSSEN is planning to embark on a “Hydrogen Fuel Cell Based Leisure Vessel Construction, Verification, and Mobile Charging Facility Development Project” by incorporating 2 x 100kW Fuel Cell Modules on a Leisure Vessel, with construction and verification testing scheduled in 2024.
