The World's First All Electric Tugboat!

In this episode, we jump aboard the world's first fully electric tugboat from Hai-Sea Marine to explore how this innovative vessel is revolutionising harbour operations and contributing to a cleaner, quieter marine environment. From overcoming technical challenges to forging groundbreaking partnerships with Indigenous communities, the potential impact of electric propulsion on the maritime industry is profound. Join Imogen to uncover the story behind the HaiSea fleet and its mission to protect precious waterways in the Douglas Channel, British Columbia.Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show @EverythingElectricShow @fullychargedshow 0:00 Introduction 1:16 Why do we need tugboats? 2:54 Batteries, motors & generators! 4:47 The impacts of going electric 6:04 Working alongside the First Nation communities 8:17 More electric tugs? 9:03 The LNG caveat Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become a Fully Charged SHOW Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Fully Charged newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/fullychargedshw Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/fullychargedshow To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show - Everything Electric CANADA - Vancouver Convention Centre - 6th, 7th & 8th September 2024 - Everything Electric (UK) SOUTH - Farnborough International - 11th, 12th & 13th October 2024 - Everything Electric AUSTRALIA - Sydney Showground - 7th, 8th & 9th March 2025 - Everything Electric (UK) LONDON - ExCel - 16th, 17th & 18th April 2025 - Everything Electric EUROPE, USA & (UK) NORTH - dates for 2025, 2026 & 2027 to be confirmed #electriccars #electricvehicles #tesla #elonmusk #byd #homeenergy #cleanenergy
