The internal combustion technology is replaced with hydrogen technology, removing the main engine with a reduction gearbox. The diesel engine driving the bow thruster and the diesel generators are replaced by a new modular propulsion system. This consists of electric motors, hydrogen tanks, a PEM fuel cell system (for converting hydrogen into electricity power) and a battery system.

With six fuel cell modules, the H2 Barge 2 has a fuel cell capacity of 1.2 MW. We applied an innovative cooling and ventilation system, carried out with a subsidy from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate.

The vessel has a cargo capacity of 200 TEU, but provisions are made for an additional push barge.
