Approve $500,000 contract for emissions control system at Port of Richmond

Environmental JusticeContracts

In Plain English

New state regulations require the port to reduce diesel emissions from ships starting January 1, 2025. The port selected STAX Engineering's system over competitors because it already has state approval and can handle different types of vessels. If approved, the city pays $500,000 over 2 years while shipping companies cover remaining costs through direct billing.
