Hire company to deploy emissions control barge at Port of Richmond
In Plain English
State law now requires car-carrying ships at the port to reduce exhaust emissions while docked. The port cannot install shore power due to operational limits and few ship visits. If approved, a floating barge captures ship exhaust for $750,000 annually through 2029.
