I am not sure if anyone is considering using insitu H2 extraction to fuel large ships .... doubt it , unless fuel becomes a lot more expensive .
I know Linde build packet (off the shelf) H2 plants of a variety of sizes as H2 is widely used in many industries.
The energy density in high pressure H2 is more than adequate to have effective and efficient combustion plants (even on the micro scale as in cars).
