A hydrogen fuel supply system 1 is provided with: a tank 2 in which liquefied hydrogen is stored; a supply line 4 that removes liquefied hydrogen from within the tank 2, vaporizes the liquefied hydrogen, and supplies the result to a use point 3; and a pressurization line 5 that uses a compressor 59 to compress and pressurize hydrogen gas resulting from the vaporization of liquefied hydrogen from within the tank 2 and supplies pressurized hydrogen gas to a vapor phase section within the tank 2.
