Abstract

The current development of hydrogen fuel cells as a ship power source is reviewed, and the characteristics of hydrogen fuel cell powered ships are summarized, as well as the development and research status of relevant technologies, including standardized specification of hydrogen fuel cell power, the safety of hydrogen system and production and storage of hydrogen. Based on the current research in various countries, the challenges faced by the development of hydrogen fuel cell-powered ships are put forward. According to the research survey, the number of hydrogen fuel-powered ships in the world is limited, and most of them are small passenger ships in inland rivers and lakes. The formulation of relevant standards and specifications for hydrogen fuel cell-powered ships is still in development. Hydrogen fuel cell is the safest and most environmentally friendly way to apply hydrogen fuel to ship power. Hydrogen fuel storage can be optimally installed on a ship using a combination of different methods.
