Shore Power is a shore-to-ship connection that provides electrical power to the ship, thereby significantly reducing diesel and other air pollutant emissions from ships while they are at berth. With our shore power project we expect to knock another 11 tons of diesel particulate matter out of the air.

The Administration is undertaking multiple actions to place the United States on what it calls an “ irreversible path ” to achieve a 50-52 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from a 2005 baseline, and then to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This is to try to meet the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming to 1.5
