Russell Long, Bluewater Network Executive Director speaks at a press conference to
announce signing of two Bluewater sponsored cruise ship pollution bills that prevent
dumping of wastewater and hazardous waste within 3 miles of California’s shore.
Assemblyman Joe Simitian, the bills’ author, (second from right) looks on.

One of a generation of highly-polluting fast ferries, these vessels are now being proposed as the core of ferry fleets across the U.S. Bluewater has set a new standard in San Francisco that we plan to see replicated elsewhere.

The visionary Solar Sailor from Australia utilizes cutting edge technology that harnesses solar and wind power to enhance the hybrid-electric propulsion system. Bluewater Network introduced these concepts to SF ferry planners, who plan to incorporate solar panels on a new fuel cell demonstration ferry.
