The US Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) officially announced the funding of $1.5 million in order to boost the conversion of Washington’s State Ferry vessel from diesel fueled to hybrid-electric power one.

Specifically, the above-mentioned ferry, is one of the two vessels used in the Seattle-Bainbridge Island Ferry Service.

For the records, the ferry conversion funding is part of a a $7.5 million granting package for nine Marine Highway Projects in nine different states.

This $7.5 million investment will improve our country’s vital fuel-efficient waterway transportation system, which makes an important contribution to exports and economic growth.

…said Elaine Chao, the US Secretary of Transportation.
