This project aims to support Océan Marine in the development of a plug-in hybrid fishing boat concept that can operate in coastal areas in eastern Canada. The project aims more specifically to optimize the propulsion of the boat to maximize the autonomy and speed of operation. Ultimately, the use of this vessel will reduce the environmental impacts of boats used in the commercial trap fishery, a significant economic activity in eastern Canada, to reduce the impact of oil price fluctuations on fisheries expenditures.
