HELION Hydrogen Power obtains its second Approval In Principle from RINA certification body for its marine fuel cell

Only few weeks after the announcement of the AIP issued by Bureau Veritas, HELION gets a second approval for its marine fuel cell, the FC-Rack™.

The RINA certification body which is renowned in the maritime sector, promotes a green approach to this industry with a strong commitment to energy saving, emissions reductions and optimization of fuel consumption. This new AIP demonstrates the confidence put by certification companies in the technological maturity of HELION’s fuel cell, which now becomes one of the only manufacturers to obtain this double approval.
HELION, with its experience of more than 20 years in manufacturing fuel cells, is also one of the first players in the hydrogen sector to have tested its technology in marine and submarine applications.

The final stage of certification, which should take place in the coming months, will make possible to launch the manufacture of the first series of FC-Rack ^TM Marine, which will be used to propel the world’s first hybrid hydrogen dredger, ordered by the Occitanie Region to the shipyard PIRIOU.
