Viking’s Ship To Test Hydrogen Fuel System

Viking has taken delivery of the company’s newest ocean ship, the Viking Neptune, at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Ancona, Italy.

While identical to Viking’s other ocean ships, the Viking Neptune is equipped with a small hydrogen fuel system, making it the cruise industry’s first ship to test the use of hydrogen power for on board operations. Viking is using the small system as a test to determine how hydrogen fuel could be used at a larger scale in future newbuilds.
