Add article description

The project Zemships (Zero Emissions Ships) developed the FCS Alsterwasser, a 100 person hydrogen-power passenger ship, power-assisted by an electric motor that gets its electricity from a fuel cell. The first boat[1] operates on the Alster in Hamburg since 2008. The keel laying at the SSB shipyard in Oortkaten was on 4 December 2007.[2]

A hydrogen refilling station for the Alsterwasser in Hamburg.

Refueling

The hydrogen station will be a storage tank with 17,000 liters of hydrogen for refueling.[3] Compression is done with an ionic liquid piston compressor.[4]
