In addition, Tim’s presentation will provide further details about Ricardo’s support to the European Commission developing the Ship Financing Portal that went live in July.
• Richard Gordon Ricardo’s Project Director, Fuel Cell will also be presenting at the event, providing an overview of the marine fuel cell module design, covering the system specification, engineering approach, module control, how it is safe and introducing the build and test progress.
