A floating or submerging device (1), in particular an above-water or underwater vessel, with fuel cells (10) for generating electrical energy for electrical consumers (11, 13) on board the device (1), wherein the fuel cells can be operated with hydrogen as fuel, has according to the invention an electrolyser (20) for generating hydrogen for the fuel cells (10) by electrolysis of water using electrical energy and a hydrogen accumulator (21) for storing the hydrogen generated by the electrolyser (20) before it is fed to the fuel cells (10). In this way it is possible for the fuel cells to be supplied with hydrogen, and if need be also with oxygen, without any emissions and with little noise even under operating conditions independently of outside air, directly on board the floating or submerging device and with little space requirement.
