Application of Shore Power for Ocean Going Vessels at Berth in China

Abstract

Based on the analysis of emissions reduction effect results from using shore power for ocean going vessels at berth in China, the work and pilot projects concerned, carry out by China government, to drive application of shore power for ocean going vessels at berth were introduced, and the prospect about application of shore power for ocean going vessels at berth in China was analyzed in this paper. The conclusion is that more and more terminals in China will construct facilities for supplying shore power for ocean going vessels at berth, and more and more ports in China will require vessels at berth to use shore power in the future.
