The Commitment (C) Class liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered combination container Roll-On/Roll-Off (ConRo) ships are being built by VT Halter Marine for Crowley Maritime Corporation's liner services group. Crowley signed a contract with VT Halter Marine, a subsidiary of VT Systems, for two vessels of the new Commitment (C) Class in November 2013.
Vermont's four largest electric utilities believe the state needs new generating plants to replace at least some of the power they buy from outside sources.
As VPR's Ross Sneyd reports, the companies say the plants should be powered by renewable energy, such as wood or wind.
