ACUA Ocean is a clean-maritime start-up that has designed a zero-emission SWATH vessel powered by liquid-hydrogen, capable of open ocean transits and transportation of a 4.5ton payload.We are partnering with the Port of Aberdeen, a leader in supporting new innovation with world-class infrastructure, ideally positioned for access to the North Sea and offshore renewables sector.This feasibility study develops a detailed project plan for the world's first hydrogen-powered zero-emission crossing demonstration from the Port of Aberdeen in the UK, to Norway in 2024, an economically important potential green shipping corridor route. UK exports to Norway amounting to £6.8bn (Q4 2021), while total UK imports from Norway amounted to £28.6bn.The Clydesbank Declaration at COP26, accelerates the assessment of short-sea shipping and green shipping corridors by establishing stakeholder partnerships along the value chain, including Ports and operators to accelerate net-zero maritime operations and deliver more sustainable and resilient transport routes, unlocking coastal economies and removing traffic for road networks.In the UK, the Department for Transport is looking to operationalise national commitments such as ship operators' near-term plans regarding alternatively fuelled vessels; fuel and technology pathways early movers are looking at and why; collaboration opportunities in countries with shipping links to the UK exploring green corridors; pilots and demonstration plans; and what support would early movers need from the government to support their plans.The ACUA vessel was developed to align with the UK Government's ambitious agenda for maritime decarbonisation. The policy, set out in Maritime 2050 and the Technology and Innovation in UK Maritime (TIUK) route-map, legislates for all new vessels built and operating in UK waters to be zero-emission propulsion by 2025.The vessel will undergo testing from September 2023\.The project furthers baseline research conducted by the Port of Aberdeen entitled "Hydrogen Port" by developing new hydrogen risk and regulatory assessments, technical blast and bunkering analysis and expanding use-cases for the safe operation of hydrogen fuels in the Port.The project will review the technical vessel design and configuration (including stability and ballasting) as well as analysis of the safe storage of liquid-hydrogen on board ACUAs SWATH vessel for open ocean crossings. We will be working with Lloyd's Register and the MCA as subcontractors on the project to ensure the mission plan meets regulatory standards.

ACUA Ocean 是一家清洁海事初创公司，设计了一艘由液氢驱动的零排放 SWATH 船舶，能够进行公海运输并运输 4.5 吨的有效载荷。我们正在与阿伯丁港合作，阿伯丁港是通过世界一流的基础设施支持新的创新，为进入北海和海上可再生能源行业提供了理想的条件。这项可行性研究为世界上第一个从港口开始的氢动力零排放交叉示范制定了详细的项目计划到 2024 年，英国阿伯丁到挪威的航线将成为一条具有重要经济意义的潜在绿色航运走廊航线，英国对挪威的出口额达 68 亿英镑（2021 年第四季度），而英国从挪威的进口总额达 286 亿英镑。 COP26通过在价值链上建立利益相关者伙伴关系（包括港口和运营商）来加速对近海航运和绿色航运走廊的评估，以加速净零海上运营和提供更可持续和更有弹性的运输路线，释放沿海经济并消除道路网络的交通。在英国，运输部正在寻求实施国家承诺，例如船舶运营商关于替代燃料船舶的近期计划；早期推动者正在研究与英国有航运联系的国家的合作机会，探索绿色走廊和示范计划，以及早期推动者需要政府提供哪些支持来支持他们的计划。英国政府雄心勃勃的议程《海事 2050》和《英国海事技术与创新》(TIUK) 路线图中规定的该政策规定，到 2025 年，在英国水域建造和运营的所有新船舶均须采用零排放推进。从 2023 年 9 月开始进行测试\。阿伯丁港通过开发新的氢风险和监管评估、技术爆破和加油分析进行了题为“氢港”的进一步项目基线研究该项目将审查技术船舶设计和配置（包括稳定性和压载），并对 ACUA SWATH 船上液氢的安全储存进行分析我们将与劳氏船级社和 MCA 作为该项目的分包商合作，以确保任务计划符合监管标准。
