MV Dirac is working at Forth Ports, Leith (Edinburgh). Thanks to a partnership with Forth Ports, the UK’s only Hydrogen- Electric Hybrid workboat is now operating in the Port of Leith.
The vessel is fitted with Kairos drive trains and Ecomar’s own vessel control software and electronics. The battery is complemented by hydrogen fuel cells which allow for continued charging even when underway. This unique technology means that the vessel can operate for extended periods without needing to connect to shore power.
