Swedish fuel cell maker wins contract for pioneering hydrogen cargo vessels

PowerCell Group has won a contract worth just over SEK 40 million to supply fuel cell systems for two hydrogen-powered bulk carriers being built by GMI Rederi AS. The deal includes 14 Marine System 225 units that will provide more than 3 MW of power, along with engineering services. Deliveries are scheduled for 2026 and 2027.
Each vessel will be equipped with seven Marine System 225 units, allowing them to run without emissions by using renewable hydrogen instead of fossil fuels. The ships will measure 85 meters in length with a deadweight capacity of 4,000 tons. They are expected to become the world’s first hydrogen-powered bulk carriers when they launch in early 2027.
