Bay Area to build first hydrogen fuel-cell ferry - SFChronicle.com

Bay Area to build first hydrogen fuel-cell ferry - SFChronicle.com: Not many large maritime vessels get built in the Bay Area anymore, but even fewer hydrogen fuel-cell ferries get constructed anywhere. That began to change on Thursday as Bay Area boat builders, ferry operators and state and regional clean-air officials gathered in an Alameda shipyard for a keel-laying ceremony, a maritime tradition that marks the beginning of a vessel’s construction. What’s being built by Golden Gate Zero Emission Marine and Bay Ship & Yacht Co. on the Alameda side of the Oakland Estuary will be the nation’s first passenger ferry fueled by hydrogen fuel cells.
