"The increased battery capacity will give us operational flexibility to enhance service levels while reducing emissions and fuel consumption," says Harly Penner, Director of Fleet Renewal and Maintenance at Seaspan Ferries. "We are excited to partner with Corvus again. They have been outstanding collaborators in our quest towards decarbonization through fleet hybridization and electrification." "Seaspan Ferries is committed to caring for the environment, and this is an exciting opportunity to play a role in the transformation of shipping towards a greener and more sustainable industry," says Gord Miller, VP Seaspan Ferries. "This trial will also provide valuable experience locally, as personnel from VARD Marine, BC Hydro and the University of British Columbia will provide integration design, shore charging from the grid infrastructure, and emissions reduction studies respectively—all important areas of expertise to develop as British Columbia develops its coastal emissions reduction plans."
