Maritime fuel cell systems
- Silent
- Vibration-free
- Emission-free
- Long range
zepp.solutions is specialised in the development, production and integration of hydrogen fuel cell systems suitable for various applications. Our maritime fuel cell systems enable the emission-free propulsion and operation of any type of vessel or other high power demand applications without any drawbacks on uptime, cost or lifetime.
Hydrogen fuel cell systems in maritime applications
Shipping and maritime applications range from inland and harbour vessels to recreational and luxury yachts. A maritime hydrogen fuel cell system can be used to provide propulsive power or to provide the power needed for hotel utilities.
The benefits of fuel cell power: it’s silent, vibration-free and clean.
At zepp.solutions, we have plenty of experience in developing maritime fuel cell systems. Projects include the hydrogen-powered Rotterdam Watertaxi that we are developing in the SWIM consortium and the ISHY project.

Maritime fuel cell system technology
Hydrogen fuel cell technology has major advantages over alternatives like battery energy systems or conventional combustion engines. These key benefits are best shown in maritime applications with the following characteristics:
- Long continuous operations
- High utilisation rates
- Fleet operations
- Low emission requirements
- Electrically powered operations in harsh environmental conditions
Our maritime fuel cell systems are designed around PEM-stacks and can be considered plug-and-play modules. They are all-in-one packages, with integrated control systems, energy management systems, thermal control and a DCDC converter that can deliver directly to a battery of choice.
