Classification society DNV has awarded type approval to Yanmar Power Solutions for its marine hydrogen fuel cell system at the SMM exhibition in Hamburg.
Classification society DNV has officially awarded Type Approval to Yanmar Power Solutions Co., Ltd. for its Maritime Hydrogen Fuel Cell System. The formal certification was presented during the SMM maritime trade fair held in Hamburg.
Yanmar Power Solutions, a subsidiary of Yanmar Holdings, achieved the regulatory endorsement following technical evaluations of the system's design and safety standards for marine installations. The certification confirms that the equipment satisfies the established classification requirements for maritime deployment.
