Bruges tourist boats

The first tourist boat was placed by crane into the Dijver canal in Bruges in 2019 and since then twelve more have started operating in the UNESCO World Heritage City. The boat is run by 20 lithium batteries housed in sealed watertight containers on the boat. The electric boats are quieter than diesel ones and cause fewer waves, which causes less damage to the quay walls. As they are run on electricity, they have no odour and don't generate emissions.
