The Port of San Diego recently unveiled its new electric tugboat, the eWolf, from Crowley Maritime Corporation
eWolf. The electric tugboat runs only on electricity, whereas a conventional tugboat uses diesel fuel. The new electric tugboat generates no carbon dioxide or unhealthy air pollution such as particulate matter.“Reducing pollutants from diesel engines is a significant concern for ports and near-port communities. Equipment, vehicles and marine vessels that burn diesel fuel are the primary source of combustion-related emissions at port facilities.
It will do a full day’s work, generally two jobs, and can be charged in six hours or less. The charging station will be connected to the grid, and utilize off-peak charging as well as have solar power supplementing the grid-supplied energy.Approximately what are the fuel savings from using electricity instead of fossil fuel?
