A Dive into the Zero-Emission Ferry Industry

Posted April 2024

ITLC’s Instructional Designer Brandon Liu traveled to Arlington, Virginia for the Global Mass Transit Zero Emission Ferries - East Conference. The one-day event hosted multiple engaging sessions featuring panelists from electric ferry manufacturers and engineers, federal representatives touting policy and funding opportunities, and representatives from cities that have implemented electric ferry infrastructure.  

 

Panelists spoke on current and emerging technology and opportunities for implementation, case studies, research and analytics of current case studies, and funding programs. “It was a great opportunity to get a look into the current state of the zero-emission ferry industry,” Brandon reflected. “Given ITLC’s current work within the zero-emissions field, we look forward to learning more to help agencies plan and transition to this form of zero-emission infrastructure.”
