WS1 B\u00fcrgermeister Brauer, built by Baltic Workboats AS in Estonia, is a 29.4-metre-long police boat which features a plug-in hybrid drive, capable of operating for two hours at seven knots on electric power alone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the introduction of the first hybrid police boat in the Port of Hamburg, we are taking an important step towards a sustainable future for watercraft,\u201d said Karsten Sch\u00f6newald, CEO of Flotte Hamburg.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud to equip the water police with low-emission propulsion technologies and thus actively contribute to reducing emissions in our city.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greener fleet<\/strong><\/p>\n During the welcoming ceremony at the end of last year, Hamburg\u2019s Senator for Economics and Labour, Dr Melanie Leonhard, highlighted the environmental benefits of the vessel.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are reducing emissions by using modern technologies \u2013 the new ships in the Hamburg fleet are protecting the climate by using advanced technology in the Port of Hamburg. This brings us one step closer to achieving our climate targets and reduces our dependence on fossil fuels,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The hybrid vessel is part of a broader strategy to modernise the Hamburg police boat fleet, with additional hybrid vessels WS3 \u2018B\u00fcrgermeister Weichmann\u2019 and another identical model slated for 2025. This initiative aligns with Hamburg\u2019s goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2040.<\/p>\n This new hybrid vessel further underscores Hamburg\u2019s commitment to sustainable port operations, reducing emissions while maintaining high performance standards for the water police.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Port of Hamburg has welcomed a new hybrid vessel which\u00a0marks the start of the renewal of the Hamburg police boat fleet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4908,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,34],"tags":[286,23,852,1776,48],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-europe-greenport","tag-hybrid-vessel","tag-port-equipment","tag-port-of-hamburg","tag-shore-power-electrification","tag-shorepower-electrification"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4907","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=4907"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4907\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4909,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4907\/revisions\/4909"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4907"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
