Application of Alternative Maritime Power for Electrical Power System on Container Ships

摘要

The Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) system is intended to decrease pollutants discharged from ships on the berth and protect the environment of harbor by stopping the onboard power generator engines, boiler and other heat sources and alternatively supplying the necessary electric power from shore side. While a form of AMP, in the industry often referred to as called " cold ironing" has been used for naval vessels, Baltic ferries and some Alaskan cruise ships, the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) is the first port in the world to use AMP technology for in-service container ships.
