Key Players
The key players in fuel cells for marine vessels market are Fiskerstrand Verft AS (Norway), MEYER WERFT GmbH & Co. KG (Germany), Nuvera Fuel Cells LLC (U.S.), Dynad International BV (Netherland), PowerCell (Sweden), SerEnergy A/S (Denmark), Toshiba Corporation (Japan), Siemens (Germany), Proton Motor GmbH (Germany), and Watt Fuel Cell Corporation (U.S.).
Market Highlights:
Fuel cells are flexible in nature and can be used as a single cell or in stacks. As a result, the power produced can be channelized through a ship, without an increase in the consumption of conventional fuel. Fuel cells are used in marine vessels to power the propulsion system and cater to the onboard energy consumption requirements. The increased need for alternate propulsion system will create new growth opportunities for the market players. The factors driving the growth of the fuel cells for the marine vessels market are increasing demand for alternative propulsion systems, low operating costs, and focus on curbing pollution. However, there are some shortcomings in the operative performance of the fuel cells for marine vessels such as high capital cost, low lifetime of fuel cell stack, and issues in the design of propulsion system. The market for fuel cells for marine vessels is estimated to witness 6% CAGR during the forecast period.
On the basis of region, the market is segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. In North America, the rising investment in the fuel cell technology in both military and commercial marine sectors. In the European region, increase in several industry consortia developing fuel cell powered vessels. Meanwhile, in 2016, Meyer Werft GmbH & Co. KG signed a contract with thyssenkrupp Marine Systems GmbH to developed fuel cell system for seagoing vessels under e4ships program. Similarly, in 2013, Nuvera Fuel Cells, Llc, signed a contract with Italian Shipbuilder, Fincentieri S.p.A, to produce and deliver fuel cell stacks for use on marine vessels.
