Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. announced that the hybrid passenger ship Hanaria, which uses hydrogen and biodiesel fuels, has received the “Ship of the Year 2024” award presented by the Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers (JASNAOE). The Hanaria was developed by MOL Group company MOL Techno-Trade, Ltd.
JASNAOE presents the awards every year to recognize outstanding vessels or offshore structures built in the past year, based on technical, artistic, and social considerations. This marks the 35th year of the event.
The Hanaria is a hybrid ship with three power sources: hydrogen fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries, and a biodiesel generator. The combination of hydrogen fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries can achieve zero-emission navigation. It was highly evaluated for its environmentally friendly biodiesel generator and its ability to freely combine three power sources for navigation.
