GMI Group Expands Hydrogen Bulker Fleet With Indian Shipyard Order
Norwegian operator Green Maritime Infrastructure doubles its alternative-fuel dry bulk orderbook to four vessels with a contract for two newbuilds in India.
Norwegian newcomer Green Maritime Infrastructure (GMI) Group has expanded its commitment to low-emission shipping by securing an order for two additional hydrogen-powered bulk carriers. The deal effectively doubles the size of the company's planned clean-fuel dry bulk fleet to four vessels.
The latest pair of newbuilds has been placed with India's Chowgule Shipyard. Each vessel in this new series will feature a capacity of approximately 3,000 dwt, designed to support decarbonized short-sea and regional dry bulk transport.
These incoming units will join two larger hydrogen-fuelled bulkers already under construction for GMI Group. That initial pair, sized at roughly 4,000 dwt per vessel, is currently being built at the Gelibolu Shipyard in Turkey.
The strategic expansion underscores GMI Group's targeted focus on small-scale, hydrogen-propelled tonnage as shipowners and industrial cargo interests increasingly seek operational models capable of reducing maritime emissions in regional supply chains.
