Latin America is about to welcome its first electric tugboat. The tug was recently launched in Tuzla Bay, Turkey, at the Sanmar shipyard. It will soon head to Chile’s Puerto Chacabuco, where it will begin operations in 2025.
The electric tugboat, designed by Robert Allan Ltd., is 25 meters long, 13 meters wide, and can pull up to 70 metric tons. Its electric engines mean no harmful emissions, helping reduce air pollution and noise in the port.
