A transport company in Norway has ordered the world’s largest hydrogen ship — two of them — to operate on the country’s longest ferry route.

Torghatten Nord has signed a contract for the construction of the two 117-metre vessels — each able to hold up to 120 cars and 599 passengers — with Norwegian shipyard Myklebust, for delivery in 2026.

The two ferries will use compressed green hydrogen produced by local developer GreenH in the mainland coastal town of Bodø, and be powered by 6.4MW of fuel cells.
