Samskip is proud to announce its partnership in the groundbreaking HyEkoTank project, an initiative supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe program. As part of its ongoing efforts to reach net zero emissions by 2040, Samskip will retrofit its multipurpose vessel Samskip Kvitnos with cutting-edge hydrogen fuel cell technology developed by TECO 2030. This collaboration will enable Samskip to take another major step forward in decarbonizing its fleet and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The Samskip Kvitnos operates on a fixed route from Rotterdam along the Norwegian west coast to Hammerfest, making it a vital part of Samskip’s commitment to sustainable logistics in one of Europe’s most environmentally sensitive regions. By retrofitting this vessel with zero-emission fuel cells, Samskip will ensure the Samskip Kvitnos stays ahead of upcoming regulations, including the FuelEU Maritime and EU Emissions Trading System(EU ETS), while also addressing the need for zero emissions in Norwegian world heritage fjords by 2030.
Participation in the HyEkoTank project is the latest in a series of Samskip initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions across the maritime sector. From its pioneering Seashuttle project, which is building hydrogen-powered container ships, to its use of biofuels, shore power and CO2 capture systems, Samskip is dedicated to leveraging advanced technologies and innovative partnerships to meet its ambitious decarbonization targets.
The HyEkoTank project is the world’s largest ongoing fuel cell retrofit effort, demonstrating the potential of hydrogen technology in reducing emissions in the global maritime sector. For Samskip, retrofitting the Samskip Kvitnos is not just about compliance—it’s about future-proofing its fleet to meet the energy needs of tomorrow while delivering tangible environmental benefits today.
Samskip’s inclusion in the HyEkoTank project is further supported by other renowned partners, including Shell, Umoe Advanced Composites, and the Arctic University of Norway. Together, the consortium will implement advanced technologies that enable zero-emission navigation in European coastal areas and the Norwegian fjords, safeguarding these regions for future generations.
The Samskip Kvitnos retrofit is scheduled for completion in 2025 and is expected to significantly reduce emissions while maintaining operational efficiency on Samskip’s established routes.
