First bunkering operations with liquid hydrogen take place at Port of Amsterdam

In the Netherlands, recently, the first bunkering operations with liquid hydrogen took place in the port of Amsterdam. It was the first time in the Netherlands that a vessel was bunkered with this form of hydrogen. The superyacht Breakthrough, docked at Feadship, was supplied with this alternative fuel.

The fuelling process for the 118.8-meter-long superyacht began with an initial delivery of liquid hydrogen, followed by multiple refuelling operations a few weeks later. The hydrogen bunkering was carried out using a truck operated by Air Products. The Breakthrough, built by Feadship, is the first superyacht to integrate a 3.2 MW hydrogen fuel cell system. This system generates electricity without combustion, with water as the only by-product.
