A Cold Ironing Study on Modern Ports, Implementation and Benefits Thriving for Worldwide Ports

Abstract

This report presents an in-­‐depth analysis of specific air Emissions Control Options (ECO) that may be available now and in future to a wide variety of modern sea ports globally. The study focuses on providing shore-­‐based energy to vessels while at berth, for powering a range of on-­‐board activities. (AMP). This report also takes under consideration the various challenges that emerge from the operation of cold ironing techniques in modern ports, in grounds of financial 􀍴 technical 􀍴 social and regulatory issues. Cold Ironing lately is receiving much attention, being promoted as one of the prime strategies, bearing great significance, with major contribution in reducing air emissions generated from global maritime industry. This report focuses on the key-­‐role of Cold Ironing towards a "Greener Commercial Maritime Industry"
