Enterprise Boldly Goes Green

摘要

MOL said that its latest tests of 'cold ironing' technology, supplied to the containership MOL Enterprise in the presence of officials from Port of Los Angeles, would see the shipowner develop and provide shore power supply sources, "which MOL hopes will lead to better environmental practices". CAL used a system that was connected to the power cable for the bow thruster motor from an onshore generator running on LNG, substantially reducing emissions of pollutants such as NOx and SOx compared to running the vessel's generators, which operate on heavy fuel oil. During the test, only two of the ship's four onboard generators were in use.
