Watertaxi Rotterdam has added a hydrogen powered watertaxi (MSTX 22) toits fleet.
It is one of the first vessels in Europe’s largest port to use thissustainable type of energy. Although Watertaxi Rotterdam, apart from theMSTX 22, already operates six electric vessels, hydrogen is generally consideredone of the most promising innovative applications to achieve zero carbonemissions. ‘We have made zero carbon emissions a 2030 goal for our entirefleet,’ says Daan van der Have of Watertaxi Rotterdam.
