The "steam" comes from the diesel outboard exhaust valve spray ring. This thing sprays sea water onto the outboard exhaust valve seats to keep them from pitting or warping from the exhaust gas heat.
The hydrogen comes out aft, defused through an aux sea water discharge. The CO2 from the scrubbers also comes out there as well.
