A European shipbuilding company has awarded a new order to Germany-based Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH, a maker of graphite bipolar plated fuel cells generating power output up to 73 kW.

This is significant news given that Proton Motor was the first international manufacturer to a power passenger ferry in the port of Hamburg between 2009 and 2014 with a 50 kW hydrogen fuel cell system. The order means a great achievement for us as well as a further sign of recognition in the shipbuilding segment.

—Proton Motor CEO Dr. Faiz Nahab
