Other Shore Power Projects
As ports worldwide embrace sustainable operations, shore power technology extends far beyond cruise vessels to transform every corner of the maritime industry. From electric harbor tugs that maneuver massive ships to passenger ferries connecting coastal communities, Watts Marine's innovative power solutions are enabling the transition to zero-emission operations across diverse vessel types.
SAN DIEGO eWolf Electric Tug Boat
​​​​
In Spring 2024, the Watts Marine team provided design and engineering support, along with a cable positioning device, for the eWolf, the first fully electric tugboat in the United States, developed by Crowley Maritime Corporation. Designed to operate with zero emissions, this groundbreaking vessel represents a major advancement in maritime sustainability.
ALABAMA Gees Bend Ferry
​​​​
In 2019, the ferry was converted from diesel to electric propulsion, the first of its kind in North America. Watts Marine designed a custom shore power system to enable the ferry to recharge while docked. The electrification of this vessel marks a significant milestone, resulting in lower operating costs, reduced noise, and reduced emissions.
