Germany’s new floating lab to test hydrogen, future ship tech, climate-compatible propulsion
SMRTR summary
Germany's DLR (German Aerospace Center) has laid the keel for MODULARIS, a floating laboratory designed to test next-generation maritime technologies under real ocean conditions. The 48-meter vessel will trial hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol fuels, along with autonomous systems and advanced navigation tools. Test voyages are planned across the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and Mediterranean, with the goal of speeding up certification for climate-friendly ship technologies.
