Servogear proudly confirms delivery of the propeller system, Ecoflow Propulsor to groundbreaking vessel.

In January, it was official that Green Yacht AS has chosen Servogear as supplier of a propulsion system for the vessel Hydrogen Viking. The boat, which is a rebuilt Sunseeker Predator 95, will be one of the world's first and fastest ships powered by hydrogen. Hydrogen Viking will be equipped with a hydrogen cell that will deliver energy to a battery bank on board which in turn will supply gears and propellers with sufficient power to move the ship over 30 knots!

"We are very proud, and it is very rewarding and educational for Servogear to take part in this innovative project. Servogear aims to sit in the driver's seat when it comes to delivering future-oriented propulsion technology and this order should be the foremost proof of just that ", says Torleif Stokke, MD in Servogear in a comment.

Hydrogen Viking will be one of the first vessels in the world to be powered by hydrogen alone and in the lead when it comes to top speed. The vessel is a pilot project for the owner, Green Yacht and the system is intended for further commercialization for both newbuilds and conversions. Hydrogen in combination with battery is already included on many drawing boards and in many plans, but Hydrogen Viking will be one of the first to be realized.
