EverWind Fuels has made a significant investment in green maritime innovation in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia, Canada. The company has ordered three terminal tugs from Damen Shipyards to support the export of green fuel, specifically hydrogen and ammonia, from the region. These new tugboats, equipped with advanced technology, will replace the existing fleet and comply with IMO Tier III emissions standards by featuring two diesel main engines connected to selective catalytic reduction units. This investment aims to drastically reduce emissions, with the new vessels expected to emit 80% less NOx and 25% less CO2. EverWind's CEO, Trent Vichie, emphasizes that this move is crucial for enabling large-scale production of green hydrogen and ammonia, positioning Nova Scotia as a key player in clean fuel exports. The tugboats, varying in design and capabilities, will not only enhance environmental sustainability but also offer greater maneuverability and power for maritime operations in the region. Moreover, this initiative will create job opportunities by expanding the marine team with 15 new hires, contributing to local economic development.
