The approval confirms that the GH-FC series complies with DNV's industry leading rules and guidelines, enabling shipbuilders, system integrators, and vessel operators to adopt the technology with greater confidence and reduced certification burden for future projects.
“Achieving DNV Type Approval represents a major milestone in our journey to bring hydrogen-powered solutions to the marine market” said Masaru Hirose, President and Representative Director of Yanmar Power Solutions Co., Ltd. “Building on our operational experience in Japan, we aim to support customers around the world in their transition to zero-emission operations and realise sustainable maritime transportation.”
The certification marks an important step in moving Yanmar’s maritime hydrogen fuel cell technology from successful domestic deployment toward broader commercial adoption in international markets.
“This certification strengthens our ability to support customers throughout Europe and beyond who are seeking practical pathways toward decarbonisation” added Eric Tigelaar, Department Manager of Commercial Marine Department at Yanmar Europe. “The GH-FC series combines easy installation, operational flexibility, modularity and environmental performance, making it an attractive solution for a wide range of vessel applications.”
