One of world’s greenest tug construction programs kicks off May 21, 2021, by Fatima Bahtić
HaiSea Marine (HM), a joint venture partnership between the Haisla First Nation and Seaspan ULC, has announced the official start of its battery-powered and low emissions tugboat build program.
Once delivered in 2023, the new fleet is expected to be “among the greenest tugboat fleets in the world” and will provide ship-assist and escort towing services to LNG carriers calling at LNG Canada’s new export facility in Kitimat.
Designed by Vancouver-based naval architects and marine engineers Robert Allan Ltd. (RAL), the tugboats will be built at Sanmar Shipyards. They will use battery-electric power and natural gas instead of diesel fuel.
