Curtin Maritime Orders Eight Hybrid Tugboats for $160m
While political winds in the U.S. have significantly tampered many ‘green’ projects, Curtin Maritime is domiciled in California, which continues to push forward on emission reduction initiatives. To that end, Curtin Maritime inked a contract recently to invest $160m for eight new hybrid-electric tugboats, vessels to be built by Snow & Co. and featuring vertically integrated electric powertrains. Maritime Reporter TV had the opportunity to interview Martin Curtin, CEO, Curtin Maritime & Mitch Lee, co-founder and CEO, Arc, on the eve of the announcement to discuss specifics.
