S. Korea's Doosan to provide solid oxide fuel cells for Singapore-based shipper

South Korean fuel cell maker Doosan Fuel Cell Co. will provide solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which are electricity-generating conversion devices, for a 50,000-ton ship of Singaporean shipping company Navig8.

The two firms have signed a preliminary deal.

Navig8 has the technology to mount SOFCs on the ship.

Doosan Fuel Cell, a unit of cash-strapped Doosan Group, is expanding its business and plans to invest 72.4 billion won to build a fuel cell plant with the aim of mass-producing SOFCs from 2024.

Last month, Doosan Fuel Cell signed a deal with British SOFC maker Ceres Power to develop SOFCs.

Navig8 is a global shipper that operates about 140 petrochemicals or oil carriers.
