Coming Soon to LA: The Cleaner, Greener Hybrid Tugboat
The air at California’s San Pedro Harbor could be a bit cleaner and quieter starting next year, thanks to a new and cleaner-running tugboat now being assembled in Rainier, Oregon.
The Hybrid Tugboat is the latest green baby of Foss Maritime, a 119-year-old marine services company based in Seattle. By using technology based on the same type of drive used to stabilize deep-sea drilling rigs, the vessel will slash the energy waste and pollution generated by your typical tugboat.
