To reduce the environmental impact and carbon footprint Albion Marine has developed an innovative and state of the art Hybrid Patrol Vessel. The vessel design uses proven hybrid technology that guarantees perfect interaction between both diesel and diesel-electric with optimum power delivery. This design meets Transport Canada standards and of the member societies of International Association of Classification Societies (IACS). The primary purpose of the vessel would be to support the Harbour Master activity that includes conducting on-water compliance monitoring, port procedures education and enforcement, vessel escorts, removal of navigational hazards, and to assist in marine oil-spill response. In addition, the vessel could be used for scientific monitoring and sampling, conducting port tours and operating as a remote emergency operations centre.
