  • Cold Ironing Report
    PRELIMINARY DRAFT—DO NOT CITE OR QUOTE I. INTRODUCTION This report presents an analysis of the feasibility and cost effectiveness of cold-ironing ocean-going vessels while docked at California ports. Cold-ironing refers to shutting down auxiliary engines on ships while in port and connecting to electrical power supplied at the dock, thus eliminating virtually all emissions from a ship while it is in port. (Cold-ironing is also referred to as “shore power” and alternative maritime power). The term “cold-ironing” comes from the act of dry-docking a vessel, which involves shutting down all on-board combustion, resulting in the vessel going “cold.” Without cold-ironing, auxiliary engines run continuously while a ship is docked, or “hotelled,” at a berth to power lighting, ventilation, pumps, communication, and other onboard equipment. Ships can hotel for several hours or several days. Hotelling emissions from ship auxiliary engines are significant contributors to particulate matter from diesel-fueled engines (diesel PM), California’s most significant toxic air contaminant. Diesel PM emissions are estimated to be responsible for about 70 percent of the total ambient air toxics risk in California. Communities adjacent to the ports are exposed to elevated cancer risk and other health impacts from these hotelling emissions. As indicated in a recent Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) risk analysis conducted for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, “Diesel Particulate Matter Exposure Assessment Study for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach,” 20 percent of total diesel PM emissions at these ports comes from hotelling emissions. Other sources of diesel PM include emissions from ship transit and maneuvering, cargo-handling equipment, and rail and truck operations.

In shipping such a proposition is axiomatic.
