The vessel will be operated by MOTENA-Sea, a company backed by MOL and other investors. The vessel features a low temperature PEMFC marine fuel-cell system featuring twin 240kW fuel cells.

The vessel is Japan’s first hybrid passenger ship to use both hydrogen and biodiesel and operates using an onboard electric propulsion system.

Yanmar PT took charge of the ship’s comprehensive power system design, incorporating two hydrogen fuel cells, batteries, biodiesel generators, power management system, propulsion equipment, remote monitoring, and other elements.
