When using shore power, auxiliary systems, such as lighting, air conditioning, and crew berths use energy from the local electrical grid. Some vessel types, such as cruise, container, and refrigeration, can require significant power while at berth. 108 0 obj <>stream The Slide Anchor Shore Spike is designed to be used in shallow water as well as on the shore. 243 Marina Bay Drive Kemah, TX 77565. endstream endobj 78 0 obj <> endobj 79 0 obj <> endobj 80 0 obj <>stream Exposure to air pollution associated with emissions from ocean going vessels and other diesel engines at ports (including particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, ozone, and air toxics) can contribute to significant health problems—including premature mortality, increased hospital admissions for heart and lung disease, increased cancer risk, and increased respiratory symptoms – especially for children, the elderly, outdoor workers, and other sensitive populations.

Factors such as the amount of time actually connected, power consumption rate, energy costs and total time at berth are described in the assessment and relate to the overall effectiveness of shore power.
281-538-9095. Shore power can be used by marine vessels to plug into the local electricity grid and turn off auxiliary engines while at-dock. The potential emission reduction benefits may be estimated for a particular vessel, at berth when connected to shore power. Port authorities can use SPEC to assess the environmental benefits of using shore power by vessel type in an area where shore power is being considered. High-load capacity of 14,000 lbs. The details and specifications are available below in PDF format and can be downloaded individually or as the entire sewer or water book. United States Environmental Protection Agency, A calculator tool provided with this report can be used to estimate how harmful air pollutants could be reduced at U.S. ports through the use of shore power systems; benefiting air quality, human health, the economy, and the environment.
