CALL Vessel Retrofit Complete

6th September 2023 / Posted by Sefinat Otaru

As part of our Defra-funded Clean Air Logistics London project, we supported Net Zero Marine Services to retrofit their workboat, Alb-E. 

The vessel’s diesel-powered engine was replaced with an electric motor and battery, making it the first fully electric workboat in London. By going electric, Alb-E effectively eliminated its air-polluting emissions, demonstrating how the transition to cleaner vessels on the Thames is possible.  

Formerly named Albert, Alb-E is currently moored at Hermitage Pier. For more information, please contact CRP Project Manager Sefinat Otaru – sefinatotaru@crossriverpartnership.org
