Veer receives support for wind-assisted hydrogen fuel cell vessel design.
Veer Corp. has announced the granting of Approval in Principle by ABS for its wind-powered vessel equipped with DynaRig sail technology paired with green hydrogen fuel cell engines.
Veer says this milestone is a major step on its mission to build the world’s 1st fleet of 100% clean, ocean-going container vessels. Registered in the Bahamas, the company is working with naval architects Dykstra in the Netherlands and a project management team at Brookes Bell.
Danielle Doggett, CEO at Veer, said:
Receiving this AIP from a recognized organization such as ABS sets Veer apart from other conceptual projects.
“We are making significant progress – you can feel that it’s really happening.”
“Veer also shared a statement of support from cosmetics-sustainability leader LUSH, which said its commitment to decarbonise its global transport is ‘dependent on partnerships with innovative organisations like Veer. Our roadmap to net zero transport means being early adopters of hydrogen shipping and so we are very excited at the possibility of partnering with Veer’s first vessel.”
Veer looks forward to receiving tender responses to their bid package from shipyards, and aims to have selected a shipyard by the end of this year (2022), and to begin shipping with two vessels by the end of 2024.
