A new contract for water surface cleaning services has been signed by the Port of Alicante, which includes a significant innovation in sustainability: the vessel responsible for these cleaning tasks is powered by electric propulsion.
This system is yet another illustration of the port’s environmental dedication, as it substantially mitigates the acoustic impact and polluting emissions that affect the port environment.
The primary vessel utilised for these tasks is outfitted with a 12-kilowatt continuous electric motor that has a propulsion capacity equivalent to a 25 HP combustion engine, thereby guaranteeing sustainable and efficient operation.
Two 48-5000 watt batteries and a 48-volt photovoltaic panel provide the Cruise 12.0 motor with an estimated autonomy of 10 hours of uninterrupted operation.
The Port of Alicante’s strategy of direct port activity towards a greener and more sustainable future is strengthened by the new contract for cleaning the water surface, which also enhances the efficacy of the service.
