China Launches Largest Hydrogen-Powered Inland Cargo Ship for Pearl River Commercial Network
China has launched the Yun Tao No 1, its largest hydrogen-powered inland cargo vessel, as part of a push toward commercial zero-emission shipping on the Pearl River basin. The 2,000-tonne ship, built by China State Shipbuilding Corporation, can carry 140 containers and claims fuel cost savings of 25-30% over diesel. The operator plans to deploy 100 standardized hydrogen vessels within four years, targeting subsidy-free operations by 2028.
