shorepower -- Approval Executive Order AB-15-01 - Clean Air Engineering-Maritime, Inc.

Posted: 26 Jun 2015 16:25:57
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has issued an Executive
Order (EO) to Clean Air Engineering-Maritime relating to ARB
approval of control efficiencies for the Marine Exhaust Treatment
System-1 (METS-1), an alternative control technology that can be
used for compliance with the airborne toxic control measure for
Auxiliary Diesel Engines Operated on Ocean-going Vessels At-Berth
in a California Port (At-Berth Regulation).   The EO, AB-15-01,
applies to Clean Air Engineering’s METS-1 and allows the use of
METS-1 by container vessels for compliance with the At-Berth
Regulation.  The EO identifies the approved control efficiencies
for METS-1, operating parameters, monitoring requirements, and
recordkeeping requirements for METS-1.

To view the EO, please go to ARB’s At-Berth Regulation website at

Approved Alternative Technologies” on the left side of the page.

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 ARB approved
alternative control technique(s) that achieve equivalent emission
reductions.
