THE TOPIC: Shore Power "Cold Ironing" at the Port of Seattle
The shore power hook-up at the south berth at Terminal 30 made the Port the first port in North America to provide shore power simultaneously to two vessels. Hooking up to the City of Seattle's power grid allows the cruise ships to turn off their engines while docked in Seattle, reducing fuel consumption and eliminating diesel emissions from the ship's stack.
The City of Seattle, Holland America Line, Princess Cruise Line, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency have been vital partners.
Come hear about the innovative approaches to reduce emissions in the Puget Sound Basin. Speakers: Barbara Cole, Port of Seattle; Doug Bors, Sophometrics; and the possibility of an additional panelist TBA.
