This thesis focuses on using liquid hydrogen (LH2) technologies as a single naval fuel onboard a vessel. The case study in this thesis is a 1000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) catamaran container vessel (CV) as a proxy to the United States (U.S.) Navy’s Spearhead Class vessel. These two vessels are both built with catamaran hulls and have similar tonnage. The case study was assumed to have travelled a distance of 4838 nm and a travelling time of 194 hrs. Design replacements and modifications were proposed in order to meet the case study energy requirements, following which RetScreen and Microsoft Excel were used to evaluate this system based over a 20-year project life. Overall, the proposed hydrogen fuel system as a single naval fuel is financially unfeasible as the economic profits do not look promising when compared to the estimated required investment at the start. Further investigation is recommended to determine whether the proposed hydrogen fuel system mentioned in this thesis can be combined with other renewable technologies as they become available. Actual implementation on a military vessel may not be practical now due to the high initial costs. Military Expert 5, Republic of Singapore Navy Approved for public release.
