Isotta Fraschini Motori (IFM), a Fincantieri subsidiary specializing in advanced fuel cell technologies, inaugurated a new production line dedicated to the development and testing of hydrogen fuel cell systems at its Bari shipyard.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Nicola Bonasia, Mayor of Modugno; Antonio Decaro, President of the European Parliament's Environmental Protection Commission; representatives of the President of the Puglia Region; the Mayor of Bari; and the Chief of Staff of the Italian Navy. Speaking on behalf of Fincantieri were Biagio Mazzotta, Chairman; Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and General Manager of the Group; and Sergio Razeto, Chairman and CEO of Isotta Fraschini Motori; and Andrea Bochicchio.
Among the first applications is the marine fuel cell module produced by IFM, which will be installed aboard the Viking Libra, the world's first cruise ship powered by hydrogen, stored onboard and used for both propulsion and electricity generation.
