All American Marine (AAM) will compete the aluminium construction and outfitting of an 84 passenger, zero emission, hydrogen-powered electric drive ferry for operation in the California Bay Area.

Once complete, the ferry will be the first hydrogen fuel cell vessel in the US, representing a monumental step in the maritime industry’s transition to a sustainable future.

“Having demonstrated our capabilities by delivering a number of state-of-the-art vessels over the years, AAM was the ideal candidate to complete this vessel,” said Matt Mullett, AAM President and CEO.

“We believe that hydrogen fuel cell technology will prove to be a robust alternative to conventional powertrain technologies.”
