New Report Charts Course towards an Electric Future for Nova Scotia’s Lobster Fleet

Rimot is pleased to have been involved in a study alongside Oceans North to lead the way towards zero-emission fishing. Nova Scotia’s lobster fishery, with over 2000 boats suitable for battery-electric propulsion, has the potential to lead in zero-emission fishing. This transition could cut emissions by over 60%, align with Canada’s net-zero-by-2050 goals, and provide cost savings for fishermen. Government support is crucial to making this shift by reducing upfront costs and promoting widespread adoption of electric technology.
