The company also said it has received an approval in principle from Norwegian and German classification society DNV for the design of the SOFC-powered ship, which has been developed in collaboration with Bloom Energy.
An approval in principle, also known as AIP, is a process to verify technological features of basic marine designs and enable shipbuilders to receive orders by officially approving their technologies and ships.
The new LNG carrier is designed to replace marine propulsion engines as well as internal combustion engines and other devices that run on oil with SOFC.
