First Hydrogen Refuelling of Vessel Completed at Port of La Spezia
The Port of La Spezia has completed Italy’s first hydrogen bunkering operation at a dockside location, with Bluenergy Revolution transferring hydrogen from a mobile land vehicle to a vessel at the Baglietto Shipyard using low-pressure metal hydride storage technology — the same system used by the Italian Navy’s U212 submarines.
The operation, authorised by the Eastern Ligurian Sea Port Authority, ran through a full multi-phase safety protocol and was declared successful, establishing a proof-of-concept for low-pressure hydrogen transfer in a working port environment.
