Fuel efficiency, affordability, reliability is critical for marine cargo transportation system supporting Hawaii
Hawaii’s Reliance on Marine Cargo Hawaii imports 80% of all goods used / consumed.* 98% of imports are shipped via commercial harbors.*
*State Department of Transportation
Young Brothers Operations 7 Barges, 9 Tugs Cargo of All Types:
Vehicles, Containers, & Less than Container Loads

Refrigerated Cargo & Diesel Generators
The “Costs” of Diesel Fuel Rising Fuel Costs Pollution Costs U.S. and International regulations on port emissions
Part-Load operation of diesel units results in higher equipment maintenance costs & shorter useful life
Successful commercialization of
H2 fuel cells in maritime applications
= Less Pollution from Maritime Applications
Fuel cells have higher efficiency & perform better at partial loads than diesel gensets
Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Diesel Generator
Higher efficiency
= Less fuel burned
Part load operation has no adverse effects on fuel cell operation, and usually leads to longer fuel cell lifetime
Potential Port & Maritime Fuel Cell Applications
Small material handling Large material handling
Shore power Portable, backup, and stationary
generators
Harbor craft propulsion Ship auxiliary power
(includes LNG-fueled ships)
On/off site trucks
Project Concept: Containerized H2 Fuel Cell Generator
Project Scope Design, build, & deploy
100-kW fuel cell system to replace diesel generator
6-month deployment (2015) on land & over the ocean
Safety & Operational Procedures to be determined
Affordability & Accessibility of Hydrogen fuel
Same look, Different power compared to diesel generation containers
20-foot ISO container
100 kW (10 plugs)
75 kg of H2 (5,000 psi)
Designed for roughly 200 reefer-hours of continuous operation

Stationary and vehicle H2+FC safety standards
Assisting Development of Maritime Codes & Standards for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell uses
Design is based on stationary and vehicle safety standards and modified to meet maritime requirements; the result is helping to inform future codes and standards.

Support from US Coast Guard: "The CFR currently has no specific regulations regarding
fuel cell installations. We hope that this trial installation and the associated design standards can help the USCG, vessel classification societies such as ABS, and other organizations such as IMO, develop standards and policies specifically applicable to fuel cell installations. Thank you for your efforts in helping to bring a renewable energy source to the maritime sector.“
