Vycon, in cooperation with Yusen Terminals Inc. (YTI), Marine Terminal Corporation (MTC) and TraPac, applied to the Port’s 2006-07 Air Quality Mitigation Incentive Program for funding to purchase and install Vycon’s flywheel energy storage systems for the terminals’ RTG cranes. POLA’s Technical Advisory Committee approved one system for each port tenant, requesting that the systems be applied to cranes of different brands. “This award from the Port of Los Angeles is a significant first step forward in reducing emissions in the California ports and around our cities,” said Tony Aoun, CEO of Vycon. “We are delighted to be at the forefront of this Air Quality Mitigation Incentive Program, and grateful to the Port of Los Angeles for the opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of the REGEN system on a variety of manufacturer’s RTG cranes”.
