Batteries included; Milestones in fully Electric Tug Project for Auckland
While the maritime world is starting to pick up the term “emission reduction” regarding the IMO regulations of 2030 requiring 40% CO2 reduction emissions (compared to 2008), Damen has their fully zero emission RSD-E 2513 tug “Sparky” operating in Port of Auckland New Zealand. What is the philosophy behind this tug, which choices were made (and why) and how does it work? This presentation will shed some lights on these items. Â
