西北海港聯(lián)盟的5號碼頭上周迎來了MSC Brunella，成為第一艘接入碼頭岸電基礎設施的船只。
4月10日的首次插件標志著碼頭岸電項目部分的調試階段，成功利用西雅圖市電網(wǎng)的清潔能源為停泊的船只供電。
海岸電力基礎設施允許船只在碼頭工作時關閉柴油發(fā)動機并“插入”當?shù)仉娋W(wǎng)，從而減少柴油顆粒物和溫室氣體排放。
5號航站樓是NWSA門戶中第一個具有岸電能力的國際集裝箱碼頭，南港的Husky航站樓和北港的18號航站樓將是下一個完工項目。
西北海港聯(lián)盟聯(lián)合主席Sam Cho表示：“西北海港聯(lián)盟致力于減少我們港口的海洋排放，5號碼頭啟動岸電利用是我們門戶的一個重要里程碑。”。
“我們感謝我們的合作伙伴，SSA碼頭、地中海航運公司(MSC)、太平洋起重機維護公司(PCMC)和國際碼頭工人聯(lián)盟(ILWU)Local 19與NWSA合作，確保5號碼頭的岸電成功。”
西北海港聯(lián)盟聯(lián)合主席Deanna Keller表示：“我們感謝華盛頓州議會對5號碼頭岸電的投資，并期待著在我們的設施中擴大岸電基礎設施，包括即將在我們南港的Husky碼頭安裝岸電。”。
岸電安裝是西北港口清潔空氣戰(zhàn)略的一項關鍵環(huán)保舉措，該戰(zhàn)略的目標是到2030年在所有國際集裝箱碼頭安裝岸電基礎設施。NWSA預計，一旦整個網(wǎng)關的基礎設施完全安裝好，所有有能力的船只都將插入。
5號航站樓現(xiàn)代化項目于2019年破土動工，北泊位于2022年1月開始運營?，F(xiàn)代化的第二階段正在進行，南泊位的運營預計將于2024年開始。
The Northwest Seaport Alliance’s Terminal 5 welcomed MSC Brunella last week as the first vessel to plug-in into the terminal’s shore power infrastructure.
This inaugural plug-in on April 10 marked the commissioning phase of the Terminal’s shore power project component, successfully utilizing clean energy from the City of Seattle’s electrical grid to power the vessel while at berth.
Shore power infrastructure reduces diesel particulate matter and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing vessels to turn off their diesel engines and ‘plug-in’ to the local power grid while being worked at the dock.
Terminal 5 is the first international container terminal in the NWSA gateway with shore power capability, with Husky Terminal in the South Harbor and Terminal 18 in the North Harbor as the next projects to be completed.
“The Northwest Seaport Alliance is committed to reducing maritime emissions in our harbors, and the launch of shore power utilization at Terminal 5 is an important milestone for our gateway,” Sam Cho, The Northwest Seaport Alliance Co-Chair, said.
“We appreciate our partners, SSA Terminals, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), Pacific Crane Maintenance Company (PCMC), and the International Longshore Workers Union (ILWU) Local 19 for working alongside the NWSA to ensure shore power is successful at Terminal 5″
“We thank the Washington State Legislature for their investment in Terminal 5 shore power and look forward to expanding shore power infrastructure across our facilities, including the upcoming installation of shore power at Husky Terminal in our South harbor,” Deanna Keller, The Northwest Seaport Alliance Co-Chair, said.
Shore power installation is a key environmental initiative as part of the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy, which targets the installation of shore power infrastructure on all international container terminals by 2030. The NWSA expects all capable ships will plug-in once the infrastructure is fully installed throughout the gateway.
The Terminal 5 modernization program broke ground in 2019 with operations at the north berth beginning in January of 2022. Phase Two of the modernization is underway with operations in the south berth expected to start in 2024
