British Columbia is making history with five new electric tugboats, which set an example for clean maritime practices. Switching to hybrid and fully electric tugs cuts greenhouse gas emissions and helps protect marine life. One of the new tugboat owners is HaiSea Marine (owned by the Haisla Nation and Seaspan). Their new tug, the HaiSea Wamis, runs on batteries, significantly reducing emissions, reducing underwater noise, and supporting the economy. Like the Haisla Nation, the Gitga'at Nation is focused on bringing clean energy projects into the community. Their work in sustainable forestry shows how Indigenous communities are driving green progress. Efforts like introducing electric tugboats prove it's possible to protect the environment while boosting the economy. Read more about the electric tugboats: https://lnkd.in/gc2gDkA9

Even in the harshest conditions, hull cleaning innovation drives effective and environmentally-friendly vessel maintenance. HullWiper Ltd #SustainableShipping #MaritimeRegulations #UnderwaterHullCleaning #Sustainability #CarbonZero #CarbonNeutral #MarineBiofouling
Scandinavia's ship owners, managers, and operators face a unique challenge: keeping vessels in top condition despite the icy winters. Biofouling remains a persistent issue in these northern waters, prompting port authorities to advocate for Biofouling Management Plans and Record Books, in line with IMO guidelines. Our partner in Gothenburg, a leader in marine construction and diving services, is at the forefront of vessel maintenance across key ports like The Sound, Skaw, Fredericia, Copenhagen, Kalundborg, and Gothenburg. They’re not just stopping there—they’re collaborating with Malmö’s local authorities to navigate the complex environmental regulations and gain approval for vessel cleaning in the port. Plus, they’re pioneering new solutions with top-side filtration using HullWiper technology. Even in the harshest conditions, hull cleaning innovation drives effective and environmentally-friendly vessel maintenance. #HullWiper #SustainableShipping #MaritimeRegulations #UnderwaterHullCleaning #Sustainability #CarbonZero #CarbonNeutral #MarineBiofouling

It’s always great to see Haven Dredging making headlines! 🌟 Earlier this year, we worked with HR Wallingford to conduct a study to assess the noise disturbance of agitation dredgers in the UK and its impact on marine life - led by the innovative hydrodynamic dredging solution, Tiamat. This recent feature in Dredging Today highlights the impressive results of the Tiamat noise study. The findings confirm that Tiamat is below the safe levels for marine life, while showcasing its more environmentally conscious approach to maintenance dredging compared to traditional methods. This is yet another milestone for Haven Dredging and is testament to the team’s commitment to sustainable innovation. A big thanks to Dredging Today for covering this important achievement!🎉 Read the full article below and follow Haven Dredging for more industry insights. #HavenDredging #Tiamat #SustainableDredging #Innovation
Tiamat has been making waves in the news! Thank you to Dredging Today for sharing the news about the results of our recent noise study. 👏 This year we have invested in deeper research into our innovative hydrodynamic dredger, Tiamat, with HR Wallingford. The results of the noise study, looking at the impact on the marine ecosystem, confirm that Tiamat is safe for marine mammals and fish, emitting significantly less noise compared to traditional Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers (TSHDs). This study reinforces Tiamat’s role as a more sustainable dredging solution. With decibel levels below thresholds for marine life, Tiamat provides ports and harbours with an environmentally responsible and cost effective alternative for maintenance dredging. 🌍🌱 A huge thank you to our team and partners for making this possible.

The Port of Cleveland was just awarded the largest grant in its history — nearly $95 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This transformative funding, part of the $3 billion USEPA Clean Ports Program, will position the port as a national leader in sustainable maritime operations and sets the standard for environmental stewardship on the Great Lakes. As part of the Clean Ports Program, the port will implement a series of sustainability initiatives through partnerships with Logistec USA Inc. and Great Lakes Towing, the operators of the Port of Cleveland general cargo terminal and tugboat shipyard in Cleveland harbor. Together, they will implement the following initiatives: Rooftop solar system and battery energy storage for port operations Electric cargo handling equipment and charging infrastructure Shore power system to allow vessels to plug in while docked Building two new electric tugboats, setting a new standard for maritime sustainability #Cleveland #port #shipping #maritime #sustainable #cleanenergy #infrastructure
