Montreal Port Authority recently reported that its shore power initiatives are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by some 2,800 tonnes a year. Due to the proven environmental benefits of shore power, Canada’s largest port, the Port of Vancouver, is also taking steps to develop shore power infrastructure.

The Montreal Port Authority announced that its shore power project has been completed and that vessels docking at the Port of Montreal’s new cruise terminal can now be powered by electricity. This two-pronged project is expected to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2,800 tonnes per year.
