The new ElectRA series harbour tug HAISEA WEE\u2019GIT and its previously delivered sister HAISEA WAMIS, will combine with HaiSea\u2019s two Sanmar-built dual-fuel LNG escort tugs, to make up one of the greenest tugboat fleets in the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe delivery of HAISEA WEE\u2019GIT is another marker along the road to a sustainable, environmentally-friendly tug and towing industry,\u201d said Ali Gurun, chairman of Sanmar Shipyards.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe importance of the delivery of these game-changing tugs to our entire industry cannot be over-estimated. Emissions-free harbour tugs are no longer just a dream. At Sanmar, we are delighted to be at the forefront of this change.\u201d<\/p>\n
Environmentally sensitive<\/strong><\/p>\n HaiSea Marine is a joint venture majority owned by the Haisla Nation in partnership with Seaspan ULC.<\/p>\n It has a major contract to provide harbour and escort tugboat services to LNG Canada\u2019s new export facility in Kitimat, which is in an extremely environmentally-sensitive region of British Columbia.<\/p>\n Like its sisters, HAISEA WEE\u2019GIT is based on the exclusive-to-Sanmar ElectRA 2800SX design from Vancouver-headquartered naval architect, Robert Allan Ltd. W<\/p>\n ith approximately 70 tonnes bollard pull, a top speed of 12 knots and 6,000 kWh of battery capacity, it will perform all ship-berthing and unberthing missions on battery power alone.<\/p>\n Taking advantage of the clean hydroelectric power available in Kitimat, it will be able to recharge from dedicated shore charging facilities at its berth between jobs, effectively resulting in zero emissions.<\/p>\n HaiSea\u2019s green tug fleet is expected to reduce emissions of CO2 by approximately 10,000 tonnes per annum compared to diesel powered alternatives, with major reductions of NOX, SOX, CO and particulate matter as well.<\/p>\n The electric harbour tugs are also exceptionally quiet, both onboard and in terms of underwater radiated noise, further enhancing the protection of both marine and wildlife in the area.<\/p>\n A third electric tug HAISEA BRAVE will be delivered to the HaiSea Marine fleet later this year.<\/p>\n Sanmar will also deliver a further four ElectRA Series this year. Two will be delivered to South America operator SAAM Towage, one to Bukser og Berging in Norway and one to Sanmar\u2019s own fleet in T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sanmar Shipyards has delivered its second electric tug to HaiSea Marine which will be used to service tankers calling at LNG Canada\u2019s new export facility in Kitimat.The new ElectRA series harbour tug HAISEA WEE\u2019GIT and its previously delivered sister HAISEA WAMIS, will together make up one of the greenest tugboat fleets in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3594,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,46],"tags":[107,12,130,475,452,1168],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-energy-technology-greenport","tag-canada","tag-electric-tugs","tag-emissions","tag-lng-terminal","tag-robert-allan-ltd","tag-sanmar-shipyards"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3593"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3593\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3595,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3593\/revisions\/3595"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3593"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
