THE channel port of Dunkirk has become the first in France to offer shore power to shipping lines.
The first hook-up took place on January 8 when CMA CGM's
17,000 TEU APL Singapura
docked at Dunkirk's
Terminal des Flandres, reports UK's The Loadstar, citing a report in
WorldCargo News.
Also known as "cold ironing",
turning to local power networks rather than running engines while in port can
lead to significant improvement in air quality in the immediate hinterland, as previous projects in ports in Europe and US
have amply demonstrated.
