The vessels regularly call at the US West Coast ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles, Port Hueneme and Oakland. These new systems will ensure the vessel meet California\u2019s strict clean air regulations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe commissioning of L-3\u2019s SAMCon systems for another leading shipping carrier marks the further growing acceptance of their contribution towards cleaner and healthier port environments,\u201d said Reinhard Swoboda, senior vice president, L-3 SAM Electronics.<\/p>\n
The regulations establish measures for providing shore-based, emission-free electrical power to vessels, allowing their main and auxiliary engines to shut down while in port.<\/p>\n
The SAMCon system installed on each vessel consists of a 40ft container incorporating a wide range of electrical components for acceptance of up to 3.5 megavolt ampere (MVA) transferrable power at 6,600 volts, together with a medium-voltage switchboard and a water-cooled step-down transformer. Each system also includes control and monitoring facilities and an IEC 800005-1-compliant interface between ship and shore.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis latest deployment of our onshore power connection facilities once again underscores L-3\u2019s continued dedication to providing innovative, state-of-the-art technologies intended to reduce emissions from shipping vessels and associated running costs,\u201d added Mr Swoboda.<\/p>\n
L-3\u2019s modular system is designed for simple adoption aboard different types of vessels and container configurations. The Hamburg S\u00fcd configuration is in line with the recent commissioning of similar high-voltage shore connection (HVSC) systems for 26 Hapag-Lloyd, 11 Hanjin and six CMA CGM container ships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
