PowerCell’s Marine System 225 receives Type Approval from Lloyd’s Register

This certification is a key achievement for PowerCell as it affirms the compliance of the Marine System 225 with the rigorous safety, design, and performance standards set forth by a reputable classification society.

Reliable zero emission power for the sea

The Marine System 225 is part of PowerCell’s scalable portfolio of fuel cell-based power solutions engineered specifically for demanding marine environments. Designed to provide 225 kW of clean and vibration-free power, the system is modular, compact, and easily integrated into both retrofitted and newly built vessels. Backed by decades of research and development (R&D) and proven performance, the system enables shipowners and operators to meet or exceed the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) decarbonisation goals, comply with the EU Fit for 55 initiative, and gain a competitive edge as regulations tighten.

Accelerating hydrogen adoption in maritime

With type approval from Lloyd’s Register, the Marine System 225 paves the way for commercial projects and pilot integrations on ferries, workboats, patrol vessels, and offshore support ships.

“This type approval is not just a technical validation; it is a strong signal to the maritime industry that hydrogen fuel cell systems are viable, safe, and ready for deployment at sea. We are proud to support the maritime sector in its transition towards zero emission propulsion. Type approval is a key enabler to support and simplify the design, construction, and deployment of marine vessels,” said Lisa Kylhammar, Senior Vice President of Engineering, PowerCell Group.

PowerCell will be showcasing the Marine System 225 along with other innovations from their maritime portfolio at Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo, Amsterdam, 24 - 26 June 2025.
