The award for Environmental Achievement of the Year – Industry Contribution was won by the SWIM consortium, a collaboration between Enviu, Zepp.solutions and Flying Fish. The consortium launched its hydrogen-electric SWIM watertaxi in the Port of Rotterdam, and the vessel has led to the development of the country’s first permanent hydrogen-refueling station for boats.
This award is a great recognition of our joint effort and how together we have created a wave for positive change!Maarten Fonteijn, venture builder at Enviu and project leader for the watertaxi project
