SWITCH Maritime is building the first fleet of zero-emissions vessels in North America MoreLess
SWITCH Maritime is pioneering the development of zero-emission vessels in North America, focusing on hydrogen fuel cells and battery-powered ferries. The company aims to replace the aging U.S. ferry fleet, which currently consists of 1,000 diesel-burning vessels, with environmentally friendly alternatives. SWITCH Maritime's flagship project, the Sea Change, is the first commercial ferry powered by hydrogen fuel cells. This initiative targets the U.S. market, where ferries are a critical transportation infrastructure, carrying 126 million passengers and 27 million vehicles annually. The business model involves building and deploying zero-emission vessels, generating revenue through the sale and operation of these advanced ferries. By addressing the urgent need to replace old, polluting ferries, SWITCH Maritime positions itself as a leader in sustainable maritime transport.
