The Smartdocks are being installed between Westminster and Dartford by Net Zero Marine Services (NZMS), providing emissions-free charging and other services to power six million passenger trips and move four million tonnes of cargo per year by 2030.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur projects will deliver first-of-a-kind shore power infrastructure on a tidal river for commercial applications, and demonstrate our commitment to reducing emissions and noise and improving air quality across the whole Thames Estuary,\u201d said NZMS director, Miles Cole.<\/p>\n
In another first for the capital\u2019s push for decarbonisation, Oceandiva London<\/em> \u2013 a floating events space \u2013 will become the UK\u2019s first carbon-neutral vessel to benefit from this innovative technology when it takes to the water later this year.<\/p>\n Powered by 100% renewable energy, Oceandiva London<\/em> is supported by onboard solar panels and a back-up biofuel generator for longer excursions. Smart technology will allow the ship\u2019s engineer to track and monitor all energy sources used, along with water consumption.<\/p>\n Following the installation of shore power, NZMS will turn its sights to producing green marine hydrogen and is currently working with river authorities and other stakeholders on the design of a 140 acre site on the Thames.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A series of \u2018Smartdocks\u2019 is being installed along the River Thames in London in a bid to reduce its carbon emissions by 80%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2756,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2755"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2757,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2755\/revisions\/2757"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2755"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
