| Onshore Power Supply Website operational |
|
A unique website, www.onshorepowersupply.org has recently been launched by the Onshore Power Supply working group within World Ports Climate Initiative (WPCI). The website offers practical and useful information and calculation tools about OPS for seagoing vessels as a measure to improve air quality in and around port, reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and noise. The website is targeted particularly at port authorities, terminal operators and shipping companies considering introduction or expansion of the technology. The Port of Gothenburg is the manager of the project in which the ports of Amsterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg as well as the IAPH (International Association Ports & Harbors) Europe Office participate. The aim of the project is to stimulate ports, terminal operators and shipping lines worldwide to implement the technology of OPS where practical and useful. See also: |
