Hybrids, coast to coast

摘要

Earlier this year, Hornblower Cruises unveiled the first hybrid ferry, the Hornblower Hybrid, for service to Alcatraz and Angel Islands in San Francisco Bay. The 64 ft catamaran ferry, which operates for Hornblower subsidiary Alcatraz Cruises, uses a combination of diesel, electric, wind and solar power to meet its propulsion and onboard power needs (see "Hornblower's Hybrid Wonder," in ML,June 2009, p. 48).
