Let's get eco-friendly, Hamburg style!
The Hamburg Fleet pulled out all the stops at this year's Harbor Fest, introducing two new hybrid police boats to keep the waters clean and the air greener. These eco-warriors, christened "Mayor Brauer" and "Mayor Weichmann," marked a significant step forward in the city's quest for a green and sustainable future.
During the second day of the 836th Hamburg Harbor Birthday celebrations, these hybrid beasts were officially welcomed into the fleet with the traditional smashing of a champagne bottle against their sleek hulls. Responsible for the ceremonial duties were Hamburg's Minister of Economy, Melanie Leonhard (SPD), who was godmother to the "Mayor Brauer," and actress Rhea Harder-Vennewald, who honored the "Mayor Weichmann."
Hamburg Harbor: Going green by 2040, because mother earth can't wait.
The green-masters of the Hamburg Fleet entrusted the new additions to their fleet back in December. These low-emission boats come equipped to quietly glide through the waters, electric for up to two hours, making them the perfect additions to the fleet's ongoing mission to combat climate change. As Hamburg Harbor aims to achieve climate neutrality by the year 2040, these hybrid heroes are not just vessels, but harbingers of a greener tomorrow.
The plan to phase out older, polluting ships is paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable fleet.
