They’re thrilled to announce the launch of SAAM Towage’s revolutionary 100% electric, zero-emission tugboats. These cutting-edge vessels will play a crucial role in ensuring vessels’ safe and efficient movement at our steelmaking coal berth.
Sustainable Operations
At Neptune, sustainability is at the forefront of everything they do. With the introduction of these electric tugboats, they’re taking another significant step towards reducing our carbon footprint and marine noise. By harnessing the power of clean energy from British Columbia’s hydroelectric power grid, they’re demonstrating their commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible operations.
Partnership for Progress
They owe a huge thanks to their shareholder company, Teck Resources Limited, whose unwavering focus on green transportation corridors and emissions reduction has been instrumental in making this groundbreaking initiative a reality. Their commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with Neptune’s vision for a cleaner, greener future for maritime operations.
Exciting Times Ahead
They can’t wait to see these electric tugboats in action at their terminal in the Port of Vancouver starting in May. With their advanced technology and zero-emission capabilities, they’ll not only enhance operational efficiency but also serve as a shining example of innovation in the marine industry.
