Gen2 Energy AS has signed contract with Sirius Design & Integration AS for the design of two ships for transport of large quantities of containers with compressed hydrogen.
The two container carriers of Gen2 Energy are large vessels that will be about 190 meters long and have a load capacity of 500 pieces. The vessels will be designed with the aim of leaving the least possible climate footprint. Using hydrogen in the propulsion systems of the vessels will be part of the design work. The ship design work is well underway.

Gen2 Energy is currently developing large scale production of hydrogen in Mosjøen, Norway. As part of the volume will be exported to countries in Northern Europe, a safe, effective and green method for transporting large number of containers with compressed hydrogen will be required.
The transportation of hydrogen is challenging, and we are very excited to be in the forefront of the development of technology, enabling cost effective, safe, and green logistical solutions
said Jonas Meyer, CEO of Gen2 Energy
Gen2 Energy has, in partnership with DNV and HYEX Safety, used a risk-based approach method to identify requirements and recommendations for the design, with the purpose of ultimately reaching an Approval in Principle (AiP), for a specialized container vessel that can safely carry a larger quantity of hydrogen containers per shipment.
We have set ourselves the goal of contributing to sustainable designs and solutions, so that our customers in the international maritime and marine industry can grow safely, green and profitably. Therefore, it is very gratifying that our first contract is a ship design and a customer with a green profile throughout the value chain
added Erik Haakonsholm, CCO in Sirius Design & Integration.
