    That’ll probably be quite a big quality of life change for the drivers. My brother used to drive tugs shifting containers on the port side. He spoke about how the engine noise and vibration just went straight through you for the whole of your shift.

    Electric should be a lot quieter and smoother.

      Might as well get a bunch of maintenance and upgrades done now while they aren’t busy.
