A new study has revealed which US ports would most benefit from installing shorepower

For the first time ever, nationwide missions from at-berth vessels have been assessed to identify where switching to shorepower would most improve air quality, benefitting workers, port users and the local community.

Using the International Council on Clean Transportation’s Systematic Assessment of Vessel Emissions model and automatic identification system data, the study shows that at-berth vessels emitted around 27,000 tonnes of combined air pollutants and more than 1.4 million tonnes of CO2 in 2019.
