From our sister blog, Respect Our Planet Hybrid Blog:
Our team is ecstatic about today’s announcement by Statue Cruises, Hornblower and Derecktor Shipyard.
“This is a genuinely breakthrough project, not only for us but for the U.S. marine industry. This boat will produce minimal carbon emissions and sip, rather than guzzle, diesel fuel. Along the way it will help make New York harbor a cleaner, safer and more pleasant place. As a local shipyard, we’re extremely pleased to have this project,” says Gavin Higgins, Derecktor Vice President for Business Development.
Over the upcoming months we will be making weekly updates to our blog providing the world an opportunity to have an inside look into the completion of the Hornblower Hydrogen Hybrid. If you have a question, ask it. If you have a comment, leave it. Our engineering team will work to provide you with answers that help you and the world better understand the technology.
Here is a picture of the hull and main deck moved into the shed at Derecktor’s Shipyard to complete the remainder of the vessel inside during the winter.
We have video clips, other pictures and diagrams explaining the systems on the vessel coming soon...
