Wow, this is a really good paper. Supplementary info is really great too- they get into details down to floating charging port stations as part of the infrastructure. Surprising how much demand is from tugboats. I have questions about how you'd safely hook up 5 MW connections, but it's definitely solvable.

Here's more about electric tugboats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu9XZIpOTcw

They can have super high torque. Quiet motors allow them to operate where diesel wouldn't be allowed due noise pollution.
