HaiSea Wamis runs on 100 per cent electric power, operating with a total battery capacity of 5,288 kWh — equivalent to running 70 Teslas all day.
HaiSea Marine, a collaboration between the Haisla Nation and Seaspan, welcomed the arrival of the HaiSea Wamis last week as it crossed under the Lions Gate Bridge.
The Wamis will be based in the waters off the North Shore of Vancouver for the next year before moving up the Douglas Channel to Kitimat to support ship operations and perform escort towing for LNG carriers at LNG Canada’s new export facility, based in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation. The HaiSea Wamis runs on 100 per cent electric power and is quick and quiet, operating with a total battery capacity of 5,288 kWh — equivalent to running 70 Teslas all day. It’s the first of three on their way to B.C. in the coming years.
HaiSea also operates dual-fuel escort tugs that use LNG and diesel, making the fleet the greenest in the world, HaiSea said in a statement.“The arrival of the HaiSea Wamis is a special moment for our team and our partners and represents a dream coming true,” said Jordan Pechie, senior vice-president of Seaspan Marine Transportation. “I look forward to the moment when the Wamis sets sail for Kitimat and boards its first crew of six — all from the Haisla Nation.
The Wamis is part of the ElectRA 2800 series designed by Vancouver-based naval architect firm Robert Allan and built at Sanmar Shipyards in Turkey. It uses an innovative propulsion system that will make it uniquely suited to help LNG carriers on and off the berths in Kitimat.
