In late August, Kirby Inland Marine LP, Channelview, Texas, the largest inland tank barge operator in the U.S., christened what it said is the country's first electric hybrid inland towboat. The 73.6'×30' Green Diamond was expected to be in service by Oct. 1. The vessel was designed and built by Kirby-owned San Jac Marine, also of Channelview, and is time-chartered to Shell Trading (U.S.) Co. Shell Energy Solutions, which installed the plug-in charging station at Kirby's Old River Fleet Dock, is providing the electrical power for the vessel. |
