| 摘要： | A single barge has the carrying capacity of 16 rail cars or 70 tractor trailers, which makes moving cargoes on the inland waterways by far the most efficient and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Now, Houston-based Kirby Inland Marine is leading the way to take barge transport in the United States to a new level of sustainability with the christening of the nation's first plug-in hybrid-electric inland towing vessel, the mv. Green Diamond. Kirby christened the Green Diamond on August 25 at the company's Old River Fleet in Channelview, Texas. "We are excited to be the first to market with a plug-in hybrid inland towing vessel," Kirby Inland Marine President Christian O'Neil said in a statement following the christening. "Barge transportation is already the cleanest and greenest way to move a wide variety of cargoes in America, and we are working to make it cleaner and greener. Our customers who are focused on reducing their emissions want more efficient options. This solution is available today." |
