TT Club warns about the significant risks associated with the use of e-bikes and e-scooters in facilities not designed to accommodate them

Port of Auckland brought the world’s first fully electric harbour tug “Sparky” into operation in 2022, following a lengthily research process that commenced back in 2016. At the outset of the process, all ship yards and naval architects approached were of the opinion that a fully electric tug was still many years away from becoming a reality.

The Golden Safety Rules provide insight to the risk, prompt a risk assessment and encourage individuals not to rush.

As supply chain operations seek to control risk, managers often turn to personal protective equipment (PPE) as a control measure to reduce the risk of personal injury to operational workers.
