Abstract
As part of Seaspan’s efforts to promote a sustainable business model, the company is working to reduce emissions, manage waste and protect the local wildfire. To continue with its objectives of controlling GHG emissions, the company is constantly researching new technologies to improve its operations on land and sea.
Seaspan provides a shuttle bus service to its employees in the great Vancouver area to facilitate their transport to their North Vancouver facilities by establishing pick-up points along the route. This project will make a techno-economic evaluation of decarbonizing their transport operations by replacing the diesel bus fleet of the company’s employees with an EV-based fleet by considering programs and rebates from the BC government.
