The Port of Long Beach on Friday, January 23, 2009, welcomed a new environmentally friendly dolphin-class, diesel-electric hybrid tugboat, a vessel custom-built by Foss Maritime of Seattle to help ports clean the air.
The new green-and-white tug, named the Carolyn Dorothy, can do the same work as a traditional tug -- assisting huge freight ships move safely in and out of the harbor -- but with 44 percent less pollution.
The hybrid diesel electric tug boats can be made even cleaner without altering the engines or equipment. There is a new fuel emulsion product of nano-ptechnology wonderment that will reduce pollution up to 90% and there is no alteration in the engines or fuel equipment. Yes, green tug boats can be greener without a lot of radical expense.
