The effect of diesel emissions from vehicles in urban areas on air quality that affects public health is a notable problem in many cities. According to the WHO, up to 99% of the global population currently breathes air that exceeds recommended limits. In close-to-shore marine, fully electric propulsion systems can drastically reduce emissions, improve air quality, and lower noise in and around urban centers. Making marine vessels more sustainable and efficient not only makes sense for environmental and public health benefits, but also cost of operations.
