Crowley Christens the First Fully Electric Tugboat in the U.S.at the Port of San Diego

Joined by diverse partners and industry supporters, Crowley today christened the eWolf, America’s first all-electric ship assist harbor tugboat. Operating with zero emissions and other sustainable technology, the tugboat delivers the high-power capability, safety and efficiency that Crowley has made its reputation.

During the ceremony, Crowley welcomed Gustav Hein, Director of the Mid-Pacific Gateway Region for the U.S. Maritime Administration; Frank Urtasun, Port of San Diego Chairman; Jack Shu, San Diego County Air Pollution Control District Governing Board Chair and a City of La Mesa Councilmember; Diane Takvorian, member of the California Air Resources Board; and Council President Pro Tem Joe LaCava of San Diego to celebrate the industry milestone.

Built by Master Boat Builders in Coden, Ala., the 82-foot vessel delivers 70 tons of bollard pull — stronger than its conventional predecessor. The eTug also features a fully integrated electrical package for battery energy storage by ABB with advanced technology for mariner safety. eWolf is supported by a new microgrid shoreside charging station that enables the tug to operate at full performance daily on electricity.

“CARB is proud to partner on this historic effort that will reduce air and climate pollution. Impacted Portside communities, like Barrio Logan and National City, breathe more diesel pollution than 90% of California communities and children experience up to 5 times more asthma hospitalizations,” said Takvorian, CARB board member. “The eWolf will contribute significantly to creating a healthy environment for all communities.
