Document Description
The objective of this Agreement is to develop a plan of action and milestones for implementation of zero-emission energy infrastructure to support transition of the WETA ferry fleet to zero-emission electric propulsion systems. The plan will first target the proof of concept through representative existing and potential new service routes, reflecting both short and medium distance routes, and identify scalable and flexible recharging/refueling and propulsion systems that can be applied across the WETA fleet and further to other ferry and harbor fleets.
