Eco Boats Australia joins Marine Engine Reduction Coalition (MERC)
Sydney, Australia — Eco Boats Australia, a leading expert and supplier of electric boating solutions, has joined the Maritime Emissions Reduction Coalition (MERC) as one of its newest members, reinforcing its long‑standing commitment to cleaner waterways and sustainable marine propulsion.
Founded in Sydney in 2008 and recognised as one of Australia’s foremost advocates for electric marine technology, Eco Boats Australia has spent over 15 years helping boat owners and commercial operators transition away from petrol and diesel engines to quieter, emission‑free electric alternatives. The company represents a range of innovative brands and technologies that reduce both air and water pollution while enhancing the boating experience.
By joining MERC, Eco Boats Australia becomes part of a collaborative industry movement that aims to accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions across the Australian maritime sector. MERC unites organisations from maritime, manufacturing, energy, and government sectors to advocate for sustainable practices, promote innovative low‑emission technologies, and support the transition towards electrification and net‑zero pathways for vessels of all types.
Membership in MERC opens new opportunities for Eco Boats Australia to engage in shared initiatives, contribute to policy advocacy, and work with peers committed to pragmatic and impactful solutions for decarbonising domestic maritime activities. As pressure grows for cleaner transport across land and sea, the company’s participation in the coalition underscores its leadership in driving meaningful environmental change within the boating industry.
