Crowley Maritime Corp., Jacksonville, Fla., said it will lead the next generation of industry sustainability by building and operating eWolf, the first all-electric powered harbor tugboat that can complete a job without expending a drop of fuel. The 82'×40'×17'9" tug, with 70 tons of bollard pull, advances Crowley and the maritime industry's efforts toward sustainability and decarbonization, Crowley said. Over the first 10 years of its use, operation of the new eTug will reduce emissions by 178 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx), 2.5 tons of diesel paniculate matter, and 3,100 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) when compared to a conventional tug, Crowley officials said. The eTug will be built by Master Boat Builders, Coden, Ala., with the design and on-site construction management by Crowley Engineering Services and its Jensen Maritime naval architecture and marine engineering group. |
