Gov. Inslee stops by to visit the electrifying Port of Everett
EVERETT — Electric eels have been around for eons, so why not all-electric tugboats and barges?
More battery-powered ships should hit the water soon, and when they drop anchor they’ll need to plug in.
They’re not yet ready for high seas duty, but are capable of crisscrossing Puget Sound, for example, or carrying cargo from the Everett seaport to the Mount Baker Terminal in Mukilteo.
And the Port of Everett wants to make sure they can power up when they dock.
