A joint design by Canada's Ballard Power Systems and Australia's Global Energy Ventures is currently developing a ship where hydrogen is transported in a compressed gas form.

[4] Kawasaki Heavy Industries is a member of HySTRA and, along with Iwatani, Shell, and Electric Power Development, plans to promote hydrogen as a fuel source.

[6] The hydrogen's production plan quickly drew criticism for its management of the carbon dioxide that will be created as a byproduct.

An investigation by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau revealed that an improper type of electromagnetic valve with a different number of bolts was installed in the drive unit of the air fan exhaust damper of the ship's vaporized gas combustion system, causing the valve to be damaged during operation.

This malfunction resulted in the closure of the damper of the fan, leading to inadequate airflow and overheating of the gas combustion system.
