I came across an article about a hydrogen ferry a month or so ago. I think the ferry was somewhere in northwestern Europe, perhaps on the Nordic peninsula.
One major problem is that, due to physics, hydrogen containers leak... a lot. The hydrogen losses from transporting and storing the hydrogen for the ferry were phenomenal. I guess it's impossible to truly seal hydrogen via a valve because it's molecule is so tiny that it can wiggle through the best valves we can make.

Ever seen how many people manage to fill their gas car with diesel or vice versa? How careless people can be filling gasoline into approved 5 gallon cans? The number of people driving off from gas stations with the nozzle and hose still stuck in their cars? And now people want to give the average driver access to hydrogen refueling apparatus? Shocking.
