Shipbuilding: Inside a Modern Hydrogen Hybrid Research Vessel
Scripps Institution of Oceanography recently released an RFP to shipyards to build the organizations innovative hydrogen hybrid research vessel, a ship that is designed with the future in mind with enough tankage to eventually convert the onboard diesel generators to methanol. Bruce Appelgate, Associate Director, Scripps Oceanography, discusses the thought behind the Glosten-designed ship, with emphasis on its core mission: to effectively study the world’s oceans while leaving minimal exhaust and noise emission footprints.
