Ship Ports using
Cold Ironing
Why Ship
Ports are
turning to Cold
Ironing
Ship Ports
using cold
ironing can
see a large
reductions of
emissions with
ships shutting
off their
engines. Cold
Ironing is where
vessel that are
docking at ports
will shut off
their engines
and plug into
the port power.
Cold Ironing is
the term that
ship use when
they shut down
their engines
and let the iron
get cold. Over
the last 10
years there has
been several
reports studying
the
feasible of
ports using cold
ironing.
The conclusion
to these reports
is that cold
ironing is
cost effective
for a large
number of
terminals and
for a large
percentage of
ship visited.
Containers
ships, passenger
ships, and
reefers ship are
the best
candidates for
cold ironing.
Containers ships
and passenger
ships are
especially
crucial for
emissions
reductions
because these
ships account
for 56 percent
of the ships
visiting the
United States,
and both of
these types of
ship are growing
dramatically.
There are cases
when cold
ironing may not
be cost
effective. Ships
with infrequent
and irregular
visits to a
port, especially
for those
vessels with
lower power
needs an shorter
berthing times.
A example are
tanker and bulk
cargo ship.
Ship Port Cold
Ironing Reducing
Pollution
Growth in all
ship categories
are expected
over the next 10
years and ports
are getting more
pressure to
improve air
quality and
emissions.
Federal and
States Agencies
are also looking
how to cut down
on the use of
fossil fuel.
Most of these
studies were
done before the
cost of diesel
fuel had gone up
close to $5.00 a
gallon and the
discussion of
global warming.
Making switching
to cold ironing
and plugging
into port even more
cost effective
and important.
In California,
with the use of
ship port
cold ironing,
the goals is to
reduce
emissions from
the hotelling of
ships by having
80 percent of
the ships using
cold ironing.
Between 2008 and
2020, and just
in California
ports, the use
of cold ironing
they are looking
at a reduction
of emissions by
100,00 tons. If
in 2020, and 80
percent are ship
are using cold
iron, it will
reduce the NOx
emissions by 41
tons per day!!!
Ship Port Cold
Ironing will
Require
Investment by
both the Ports
and the Shipping
company.
Cold Ironing
will require
significant
infrastructure
investment by
both the ports
and the shipping
company.
California has
done great
strives in
implementing
Ship Port Cold
Ironing and
we see many
ports going to
cold ironing. As
Ship Port Cold
Ironing
becomes
commonplace, in
US or foreign
port, they will
reap the
benefits of cold
ironing when
they install the
necessary
infrastructure
to service the
ships
retrofitted to
cold iron in
California.
This would
further improve
the cost
effectiveness of
cold ironing.
Just by
ports in
the US going to
cold ironing can
you envision the
impact it would
have on our
environment and
global warming.
Ship Port Cold
Ironing And The
Use of Cold
Ironing
Electrical Power
Converters
Ship come from
all over the
world, into the
US ports, with
electrical power
and voltage
requirements
that vary from
country to
country.
Ports or vessels
need a cold
ironing
electrical power
converter to
change the
frequency and
the voltage so
they can safety
run their ship
power while in
port.
Cold Ironing
Electrical Power
Converter
should not only
provide the
ability to
change
frequencies,
voltage and
phases but
provide line
isolation,
harmonic
cancellation and
other power
factor
correction.
