This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Ports Program (CFDA 66.051), will fund Seastreak, LLC to deploy zero-emission (ZE) ferries and charging infrastructure at ports in Monmouth County, NJ and the surrounding area. The $61,060,000 grant will support the purchase and operation of high-speed ZE ferries, installation of DC charging systems with integrated battery energy storage, workforce development, and community engagement activities. The expected outcomes include reduced emissions of CO2, NOx, PM2.5, CO, HC, and black carbon, as well as improved air quality in local port communities. The award also allows for sub-awards to implement outreach, educational programs, and workforce training related to ZE maritime technology.
