California increases regulations for emissions for ships at port​

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has approved a new regulation to decrease pollution from ocean-going vessels when docked at the busiest California ports.

All vessels entering the port in California must use shore power or control technology approved by CARB to decrease harmful emissions.
The updated regulation, after implementation, could lead to a reduction of 90% in pollution from the 2,300 vessel visits to the ports annually, leading to a decrease of 55% in possible cancer risk for Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach and Richmond communities.
The rule will come into effect from 2023 and the vessels added, container, reefer and cruise ships, will transition.
CARB chair Mary D Nichols said: “This rule clamps down on air pollution from the largest ships while they’re docked in California ports, and there are multiple ways terminals, ports, ship owners and operators can comply.

So every ship has to be retrofitted to obtain electric power from shore ... Expensive electric power at that

Yes, yes they are

These idiots would amputate the whole leg to fix a broken toe .

Let's go Brandon!

I hope Florida's ports are ready for an increase in traffic.

and just where are they going to get all this power ?

They probably wonder how they will get from California to Florida thinking there’s no passage way.

All the ships I worked on were set up to take shore power. A set of big ass cables and transfer switch, main breaker. The problem is are the voltages and frequency compatible? In US everything we came across was 480 volt, three phase, 60 cycle. In Europe and Asia you'll run across 600 volt systems, 50 cycle systems and in some older ships DC current. They could use shore side transformers for voltage changes but for 50 cycle or DC they'd have to go shore side portable generator.

One submarine would solve all that port congestion.

Yes, they are brain dead. And with God as my witness......they will top this one sooner than later.

That's a rhetorical question right? They've already proven how stupid and out of touch with reality they are. They've also proven that they don't care how much they drive up the cost of living on anyone

This is of course the same state that wants all their vehicles EV in 15 years, even though their power grid has rolling brownouts now. What's gonna happen with 30 million EV's plugged in every night? LOL

[Jmac00]

easy fix, shippers should simply go to Florida, Louisiana, Alabama ports. They will be more than happy to accept these ships

Think back to the fires. The electric was shut off to prevent more fires. When people were told to leave because of fires heading their way many EV's could not as the power was lacking to charge them

 

[Acer-m14]

hey CARB .. i think the forest fires you have there all the time cause more pollution .. where are the EV water drop copters and planes ..

 

[Jsmegs77]

At some point, the ship companies will start doing what the truckers have already been doing for awhile and not taking loads to California. Sorry, Cali…

Lightning bugs, duh

Using East Coast ports is not economically prudent for a shipping company bringing goods from Asia. By the time the extra fuel, charter time and fees for the Panama canal are factored in is cheaper to let them sit off Long beach and wait or in this instance pay for shore power. We aren't talking a couple bucks extra to go to the east coast, its a huge amount like a million dollars per trip more.
