Haha! Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? â Philip K. Dick, the story that Bladerunner is based on.
First electric vessel (and floating advertising board) crosses the Atlantic autonomously:
PS> She is obviously intended to sail with one side facing the sun:
Heading from Europe across the Atlantic on the Northern Hemisphere, returning on the Southern Hemisphere (??).
Coming to an Electric vessel (or car) near you soon. (??):
PS> It doesnât say how well these ferries will function in icy conditions, which can be expected in the winters in the waters around Stockholm. What says our Swedish expert??
Which one is actually Worldâs first??
Zero emissions hydrofoil âflyingâ workboat launched in Belfast:
OK, one is a âworkboatâ and the other a âspeedboatâ, so each was first in itâs class.
12 new IC 1A bulker with electric hybrid propulsion on order by ESL from Indian yard:

SEABIRD GELANCEERD IN ROTTERDAM:
After being put in the water from SMIT WAALHAVEN 8, a demo was given at a speed of approximately 40 km/h. Today, Sunday, they will sail at top speed, which is approximately 93 km/h. A fully electrically powered speedboat of the E1 class (a new racing class), the nautical counterpart of the Formula-E class on the road. It is powered by a 150 kW electric motor. equal to 204 hp The weight is 800 kg. The aim is to organize a race with these speedboats during the World Port Days in two yearsâ time.

The Dutch has had those for a year already:
A few days ago European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen joined the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte for an inspection of the Alphenaar â the first Dutch inland vessel to use interchangeable energy containers for propulsion:
PS> Donât know if the US variety will carry beer though.
The two drone shops for ASKO has been named:
And what will they be transporting? Electric truck:
Whirrrrr will never replace Pockita Pockita Pockita in the heart of an engineer.
The same, but with video:
M/K âTampen 1â (blt. Ă lesund 1902) Equipped with a UNION semi-diesel from 1954, 2 cylinders, 100 Hp.
This should please an old steam engineerâs heart:
Unless he is also a Harley-Davidson fan, that is.
Finally found a photo and sound file from years ago. The engine is a Washington Iron Works 700HP 200RPM direct reversing running in the 1889 tug Arthur Foss. The sound is unique in that one cylinder is offline due to an injector problem.
Interesting history:
Are you among the volunteer crew?
I was the engineer that got the thing running after it was left for dead in the early 90s.
Maybe this is the engine that was installed in the Arthur Foss in 1934?:
