Noatum Maritime, part of AD Ports Group’s Maritime & Shipping Cluster, has demonstrated its dedication to sustainable maritime operations through substantial investments. This includes the acquisition of the GCC’s first all-electric hydrofoiling pilot boat and two fully electric tugboats, which cut energy consumption by up to 85%. These zero-emission vessels are crucial to Noatum Maritime’s decarbonization strategy, enhancing operational efficiency, reducing emissions, and potentially contributing to carbon credit programs. The advanced electric propulsion technology sets a new benchmark for sustainability in the maritime industry. Remarkably, one of these tugs has earned a Guinness World Record as the world’s most powerful electric tug, highlighting our leadership in adopting innovative and eco-friendly technologies.
