San Francisco's ferry system is getting two major upgrades to meet California's zero-emission mandate by end of 2025. The world's first commercial hydrogen fuel cell ferry, the 75-passenger Sea Change, just launched and runs free for six months. Angel Island-Tiburon Ferry is also switching to all-electric vessels from a New Zealand company.
The world's first commercial passenger ferry powered 100% by zero-emission hydrogen fuel cells just debuted in San Francisco. The 70-foot catamaran called Sea Change, built by a company called Switch Maritime, fits 75 people, and it's running for free for the next 6 months between Pier 41 and the San Francisco Ferry Terminal. And that's not the only change coming to Bay Area transport. The Angel Island Tiburon Ferry just signed a deal with a New Zealand-based company to bring all-electric boats to the area. All of this is part of an effort to comply with state laws requiring emissions-free ferries by the end of 2025. Let me know what you think in the comments.
