A 'WRIGHT BROTHERS MOMENT' FOR PASHA MARINE TERMINAL

摘要

California is known for its work on the "greening" edge of technology. Now the Port of Los Angeles is partnering with Pasha Stevedoring & Terminals on a $26.6 million demonstration project to provide a real world test of zero emissions technologies at a working marine terminal that will be totally solar powered. Under the Green Omni Terminal Demonstration Project, Pasha will integrate a fleet of new and retrofitted zero-emission electric vehicles and cargo-handling equipment into its terminal operations. The fleet will include four electrified yard tractors, two high-tonnage forklifts, two drayage trucks and a top handler. Additionally, two wharf cranes will be upgraded with new electrical drives and control systems. The project will also demonstrate ShoreCat, the next generation of the METS-1 (Marine Exhaust Treatment System) for capturing at-berth vessel emissions without plugging into shore power. METS-1, which was piloted at the Port of Los Angeles, is one of only two existing ARB-approved alternatives to shore power.
