UK GOVERNMENT SEEKS VIEWS ON COLD IRONING

The UK Department of Transport has issued a call for evidence, inviting views on different aspects of supporting the deployment of shore power in the UK and the provision of shoreside electrical power to a docked vessel while its engines are shut down.

The details gathered will be used to inform future policy development. Information is being sought on these specific topics:

• costs of shore power
• benefits of shore power, including the potential of emission reduction
• scale of vessel emissions at berth
• options to enable the rollout of this technology
