西北海港聯(lián)盟的5號(hào)碼頭上周迎來(lái)了MSC Brunella，成為第一艘接入碼頭岸電基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的船只。

4月10日的首次插件標(biāo)志著碼頭岸電項(xiàng)目部分的調(diào)試階段，成功利用西雅圖市電網(wǎng)的清潔能源為停泊的船只供電。

海岸電力基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施允許船只在碼頭工作時(shí)關(guān)閉柴油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)并“插入”當(dāng)?shù)仉娋W(wǎng)，從而減少柴油顆粒物和溫室氣體排放。

5號(hào)航站樓是NWSA門(mén)戶中第一個(gè)具有岸電能力的國(guó)際集裝箱碼頭，南港的Husky航站樓和北港的18號(hào)航站樓將是下一個(gè)完工項(xiàng)目。

西北海港聯(lián)盟聯(lián)合主席Sam Cho表示：“西北海港聯(lián)盟致力于減少我們港口的海洋排放，5號(hào)碼頭啟動(dòng)岸電利用是我們門(mén)戶的一個(gè)重要里程碑。”。

“我們感謝我們的合作伙伴，SSA碼頭、地中海航運(yùn)公司(MSC)、太平洋起重機(jī)維護(hù)公司(PCMC)和國(guó)際碼頭工人聯(lián)盟(ILWU)Local 19與NWSA合作，確保5號(hào)碼頭的岸電成功。”

西北海港聯(lián)盟聯(lián)合主席Deanna Keller表示：“我們感謝華盛頓州議會(huì)對(duì)5號(hào)碼頭岸電的投資，并期待著在我們的設(shè)施中擴(kuò)大岸電基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，包括即將在我們南港的Husky碼頭安裝岸電。”。

岸電安裝是西北港口清潔空氣戰(zhàn)略的一項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵環(huán)保舉措，該戰(zhàn)略的目標(biāo)是到2030年在所有國(guó)際集裝箱碼頭安裝岸電基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。NWSA預(yù)計(jì)，一旦整個(gè)網(wǎng)關(guān)的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施完全安裝好，所有有能力的船只都將插入。

5號(hào)航站樓現(xiàn)代化項(xiàng)目于2019年破土動(dòng)工，北泊位于2022年1月開(kāi)始運(yùn)營(yíng)?，F(xiàn)代化的第二階段正在進(jìn)行，南泊位的運(yùn)營(yíng)預(yù)計(jì)將于2024年開(kāi)始。

The Northwest Seaport Alliance’s Terminal 5 welcomed MSC Brunella last week as the first vessel to plug-in into the terminal’s shore power infrastructure.

This inaugural plug-in on April 10 marked the commissioning phase of the Terminal’s shore power project component, successfully utilizing clean energy from the City of Seattle’s electrical grid to power the vessel while at berth.

Shore power infrastructure reduces diesel particulate matter and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing vessels to turn off their diesel engines and ‘plug-in’ to the local power grid while being worked at the dock.

Terminal 5 is the first international container terminal in the NWSA gateway with shore power capability, with Husky Terminal in the South Harbor and Terminal 18 in the North Harbor as the next projects to be completed.

“The Northwest Seaport Alliance is committed to reducing maritime emissions in our harbors, and the launch of shore power utilization at Terminal 5 is an important milestone for our gateway,” Sam Cho, The Northwest Seaport Alliance Co-Chair, said.

“We appreciate our partners, SSA Terminals, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), Pacific Crane Maintenance Company (PCMC), and the International Longshore Workers Union (ILWU) Local 19 for working alongside the NWSA to ensure shore power is successful at Terminal 5″

“We thank the Washington State Legislature for their investment in Terminal 5 shore power and look forward to expanding shore power infrastructure across our facilities, including the upcoming installation of shore power at Husky Terminal in our South harbor,” Deanna Keller, The Northwest Seaport Alliance Co-Chair, said.

Shore power installation is a key environmental initiative as part of the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy, which targets the installation of shore power infrastructure on all international container terminals by 2030. The NWSA expects all capable ships will plug-in once the infrastructure is fully installed throughout the gateway.

The Terminal 5 modernization program broke ground in 2019 with operations at the north berth beginning in January of 2022. Phase Two of the modernization is underway with operations in the south berth expected to start in 2024
