From January 2022, Port Bronka in Russia, will provide a 10% discount for mooring and quay operations for vessels with energy efficient propulsion.
Energy efficient propulsion is particularly relevant for shipping companies operating in the Baltic and North Seas and other areas that are the part of designated Emission Control Areas under IMO and MARPOL environmental regulations.
Lithium-ion battery systems allow zero-emission port visits and modern two-stroke engines, emission abatement systems, solar panels and innovative air lubrication systems cut emissions further.
LNG fueled engines significantly reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and almost completely eliminate emissions of carbon black and sulfur oxides. Another example of energy efficient propulsion is hybrid electric technology
said the Port of Hamburg.
