What is holding H2 PEM FC back in the marine surface<br />

vessel sectors?<br />

Commercializati<strong>on</strong> is happening first with land/road vehicles, where<br />

certificati<strong>on</strong> is more established and much simpler<br />

Bad news:<br />

• Integrators have an unattractive market<br />

• Without the demand “pull”, Fuel Cell Manufacturers are not tailoring<br />

Good news:<br />

• Commercializati<strong>on</strong> is happening in ports, where hydrogen is readily and<br />

ec<strong>on</strong>omically available<br />

However: the marine sector cannot wait – development takes time -<br />

standing still means future unpreparedness
