Tugboat operator Wing Maritime Service Corporation (WMS) and tugboat builder Keihin Dock Co are working with Niigata Power Systems to construct an environment-friendly tugboat.
The new tugboat will feature the hybrid propulsion system that Niigata Power Systems has developed and manufactures, and will be the first tugboat in Japan propelled by such a system. The new tugboat is expected to have 20% lower CO2 emissions when in port.
