Background:
In December 2007, the Air Resources Board approved the At-Berth
(shorepower) regulation. The purpose of the regulation is to
reduce emissions from diesel auxiliary engines on container
ships, passenger ships, and refrigerated-cargo ships while
berthing at a California Port. The regulation provides two
options to reduce at-berth emissions: 1) turn off auxiliary
engines and connect the vessel to some other source of power; or
2) use alternative control technique(s) that achieve equivalent
emission reductions.
