Application forms for fleet emission credits (FEC) as well as a
status of the terminal plan submittals are now available on ARB’s
Shore Power website.    FEC are only applicable toward compliance
with the At-Berth Regulation where fleet operators have chosen
the Equivalent Emission Reduction Option—fleets that have chosen
the Reduced Onboard Power Generation Option cannot apply for or
use FEC.

These forms are applicable to two types of emission reductions: 
1) Use of either low sulfur marine gas oil or low sulfur marine
distillate oil in auxiliary engines while the ship is docked at a
California port prior to January 1, 2007; and 2) use of
grid-based shore power at a California port prior to January 1,
2010.  The application package includes the following: 
instructions, application forms based in excel, and a
confidential form.

These forms are intended for application for early reductions. 
That is, reductions that occurred prior to the first milestone in
the regulation, which is applicable on or after January 1, 2010. 
Additional application forms will be made available at a later
date for reductions that occur after January 1, 2010.  

Other types of emission reductions may also be eligible for FEC.
 Please contact Grant Chin at gchin@arb.ca.gov or at 916-327-5602
regarding the eligibility of an emission reduction for FEC that
are not considered in the above forms or if you have questions
related to the FEC application forms.
