Shore Power

Increases in worldwide intermodal trade and environmental pollution concerns have created a demand for ship-to-shore power solutions that comply with environmental restrictions in ports and harbors. “Cold-ironing,” a simple process of ships plugging into shore-side power while in berth can reduce air pollution by 39% in areas neighboring ports. According to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, this method removes more than three tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and 350 pounds of particulate matter from the air from each ship that is “plugged in.”
