shorepower -- At-Berth Regulation March 25, 2015 Workshop Postponed
Posted: 06 Mar 2015 15:40:44
The California Air Resources Board (ARB/Board) staff has postponed the March 25, 2015 workshop on proposed amendments to the At-Berth Regulation. In February, ARB staff sent a “Save the Date” list serve notice for a March 25th public workshop to discuss proposed amendments to the At-Berth Regulation. Unfortunately, we need to postpone the workshop to provide more time for ARB staff to prepare materials to ensure a productive discussion at the workshop. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions, please contact Jonathan Foster, Air Resources Engineer, at (916) 327-1512 or shorepower@arb.ca.gov. Background: In December 2007, the Air Resources Board approved the At-Berth 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. California is in a drought emergency. Visit www.SaveOurH2O.org for water conservation tips.
