The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has been awarded US $2.8m to install a shore power system at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal as part of federal stimulus money designated for the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
The Brooklyn facility will be the first on the US East Coast to provide shore power and is expected to reduce emissions from berthed cruise vessels by 95.3 tons of NOx, 6.5 tons of fine particulate matter and 1,487 tons of greenhouse gases each year.
Meanwhile, Florida’s Port Everglades is also looking at the possibility of providing shore power at its new Cruise Terminal 18.
