  • 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    PRELIMINARY DRAFT—DO NOT CITE OR QUOTE I. INTRODUCTION This report presents an analysis of the feasibility and cost effectiveness of cold-ironing ocean-going vessels while docked at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. As demonstrated in our cover story this month, over and above the tough jobs they perform in often difficult conditions, seafarers around the world are often called upon to perform tasks of great daring in order to save the lives of others who find themselves in distress in dangerous seas. We also pay tribute to those seafarers that during this holiday period find themselves not at home with family and friends but held captive by viscous unprincipled pirates with little hope of Heroes all getting home anytime soon.

    Flags of Convenience and the Need for International Co-operation Dr Z OYA ÖZÇAYIR Maritime Law Consultant and a member of the IMO Roster of Experts and Consultants International Maritime Law, Vol. 7, Issue 4, May 2000, pp. 111-117. In General The history of flags of convenience dates back to the Roman Empire, but it was not until after World War II that the desire and the need to be competitive in the world shipping markets gave rise to the spectacular growth in the use of such flags. Obviously the reasons for registering a ship in a flag of convenience country vary from one owner to another. Today the primary reason for flags of convenience is to obtain cost economies and stay competitive in the industry. In a maritime company all decisions are taken in order to achieve the common goal of minimising private costs and maximising private revenue. Therefore, it is not possible for a shipowner to choose a flag without considering the fiscal advantages. It is believed that taking part in competition in the market has great importance for a shipowner when considering open registry. On the basis of the history of flags of convenience and present practice, everybody involved in shipping practice knows that the flags of convenience system will continue to exist. It is time for the opponents of this system to find a different solution rather than trying to get rid of the system. After the transfer of American ships to the Panamanian and Honduras flags organised labour opposition to flags of convenience began in the 1930s.
