Shore power innovation moves ahead in China

The collaborators recently achieved a a milestone with the successful trial and commissioning of ONE’s AMP container at NZPG’s terminal. This marked the first time a vessel at a Chinese port utilised shore power through Lift-on/Lift-off operations of an AMP container.

Moving forward

Following the trial, ONE and NZPG held a symposium on 6 December to share best practices and explore innovative approaches to shore power utilisation.

The event highlighted ONE’s nearly decade-long experience in utilizing Alternative Marine Power (AMP) containers on the U.S. West Coast.

The symposium kicked off with an opening speech from ONE Global Chief Officer, Hiroki Tsujii.

“One approach to reduce carbon footprint is through shore power usage. We will introduce the utilisation of a containerized AMP unit to support further reduction,” he said.

“The use of an AMP unit is a familiar and effective approach within this industry. To be successful, close cooperation among various concerned parties is necessary. We believe this will contribute to carbon footprint reduction in a practical and expedited way and we hope it is a good symbol of collaboration among relevant parties.”

ONE said is committed to exploring innovative solutions to reduce its environmental impact and by collaborating with partners like NZPG, said it aims to support the adoption of sustainable port operations and contribute to a greener future.
