In this episode, we jump aboard the world’s first fully electric tugboat from Hai-Sea Marine to explore how this innovative vessel is revolutionising harbour operations and contributing to a cleaner, quieter marine environment.
From overcoming technical challenges to forging groundbreaking partnerships with Indigenous communities, the potential impact of electric propulsion on the maritime industry is profound. Join Imogen to uncover the story behind the HaiSea fleet and its mission to protect precious waterways in the Douglas Channel, British Columbia.
