Abstract
A fuel cell ship includes a fuel cell that generates electric power by an electrochemical reaction of fuel, a propulsion device that generates propulsive force on a hull by electric power supplied from the fuel cell, a fuel supply pipe through which the fuel is supplied from a fuel tank housing the fuel to the fuel cell, a duct compartment that houses a part of the fuel supply pipe, a vent pipe that communicates with the duct compartment, and a fuel filling port that serves as an inlet for filling the fuel tank with the fuel. The fuel filling port is provided in the duct compartment.
