Accept $1 million grant to install shore power at 2 port berths

Environmental JusticeBudgetAppropriation

In Plain English

The port received a $1 million grant from pollution settlement funds to install electrical hookups at Berths 7 and 8. Ships currently burn diesel fuel while docked to power onboard systems. If approved, the shore power lets ships plug into the electrical grid instead, reducing air pollution from the port.
