Electrifying Halifax's Working Harbour
Halifax Harbour hosts approximately 100 commercial and government vessels., BlueGrid is seeking to provide a global view of how these vessels could reduce emissions through improved data collection and monitoring. Their latest initiative builds on previous work with Halifax Transit ferries and will capture real-time energy and emissions data from 25 diverse vessels.
The project will produce a fleet-wide emissions profile and make findings accessible through BlueGrid's Insights platform. In partnership with The PIER at the Port of Halifax, the project will support public engagement and inform the One Port City initiative. By enabling this level of fleet-wide analysis with minimal intervention from vessel operators, BlueGrid is creating a new pathway for decarbonizing marine transportation.
