The World Energy Net-work research program of the Japanese
New sunshine project is divided into 3 phases [ [http://www.enaa.or.jp/WE-NET/newinfo/station_taka_e.html Phase 3 - Development of Fundamental Technologies in the Safe Utilization of Hydrogen] ] in the time frame 1993 to 2002, its goal is to study the distribution of liquid hydrogen with hydrogen tankers [ [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6V3F-3SYS0MN-6&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=86cc9ad24003f18d297cd66835f5cd30 1998 - Studies of the large-scale sea transportation of liquid hydrogen] ] based on theLNG carrier technology of self-supporting tank designs such as the prismatic and spherical tank. Further research on maritime transport of hydrogen was done in thedevelopment for safe utilization and infrastructure of hydrogen project (2003-2007) [ [http://www.nedo.go.jp/kankobutsu/pamphlets/kouhou/2007gaiyo_e/79_86.pdf Development for safe utilization and infrastructure of hydrogen] ] .Similar as in an LNG ship the boil off gas is used for propulsion of the ship.
