🌊 The Port of Los Angeles, in partnership with PACECO CORP., MITSUI E&S Hydrogen Team and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) have unveiled the H2-ZE RTG, a hydrogen fuel cell-powered crane. 🚢 This mobile crane, powered entirely by hydrogen fuel cells, is now operational at Yusen Terminals LLC Inc and operates for 16 hours a day, matching diesel crane efficiency without harmful emissions, significantly improving air quality and reducing noise pollution at the port. 💡 MITSUI E&S Hydrogen Team designed the fuel cell power system, with Toyota Tsusho providing the hydrogen. This project demonstrates the feasibility and environmental benefits of hydrogen fuel cells in port operations. 🌍 By adopting this technology, the Port of Los Angeles advances its sustainability goals, particularly the Clean Air Action Plan, improving conditions for port employees and setting a new standard for green technologies. 📅 The pilot project runs until 2028, aiming to prove the efficiency and environmental benefits of hydrogen fuel cell cranes.   🔗 For more information you can take a look at SOM-INN PORT’s Observatory through the following link: https://lnkd.in/d5CKD89v   SOM-INN PORT <> Port Tarragona

🚢 Ports of Stockholm, in collaboration with the RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Torghatten, Zeabuz, DNV, and Vattenbussen, are pioneering the future of urban maritime transport with the "Policy Lab Urban Zjöfart" project. This innovative initiative focuses on the safety and feasibility of autonomous ferries in Stockholm. 📅 This project leverages a real-world case study in Riddarfjärden to gather crucial data on the transition from manned to autonomous ferries. It aims to improve the frequency and punctuality of ferry services, benefiting travelers, particularly cyclists and pedestrians. 🔍 The role of Ports of Stockholm is central to this project, collaborating on the testing and development of safety protocols. The findings will contribute to ongoing international policy discussions by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), positioning Stockholm as a leader in maritime innovation and sustainability. 🌍 This initiative not only aims to revolutionize urban mobility in Stockholm but also to enhance its regulatory and commercial standing in the global maritime industry. By developing safe and efficient autonomous ferry services, Stockholm Ports is setting a new standard for sustainable urban transport. 🔗 For more information you can take a look at SOM-INN PORT’s Observatory through the following link: https://lnkd.in/dbRGrnN8 SOM-INN PORT <> Port Tarragona

🔋Fortescue in collaboration with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), is focused on developing sustainable fuel alternatives for maritime activities. 🚢They successfully conducted propulsion and maneuverability trials of the Fortescue Green Pioneer vessel using liquid ammonia combined with diesel and hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) as fuel. ✅ The trials with the Fortescue Green Pioneer validated the safety and efficacy of using ammonia with other fuels, demonstrating optimal performance under real operating conditions. 🏅Fortescue and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) are also collaborating to enhance the cybersecurity resilience of vessels using alternative fuels by monitoring the operational technology systems on board. 🔗 For more information you can take a look at SOM-INN PORT’s Observatory through the following link: https://lnkd.in/d29pr_yW SOM-INN PORT <> Port Tarragona

🚢 The Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) and Green2x are leading an innovative project to design, establish, and operate a biofuel plant in this Swedish-Danish port. 🌍This plant will convert residual straw, an agricultural by-product, into biomethane and other green fuels. Using an innovative technology developed by Green2x, they will be able to extract over 95% of the energy content from straw, making it an efficient and sustainable energy source. 🌿 The plant's construction is scheduled for completion by 2030. Once operational, it will not only supply the Copenhagen Malmö Port with biofuels but also support local growth and promote sustainable development in the region. 🌾 This collaboration between Copenhagen Malmö Port and Green2x will develop new business prospects, strengthening cooperation with the shipping industry and other actors in the biofuels value chain. 🔗 For more information you can take a look at the SOM-INN PORT Observatory through the following link: https://lnkd.in/eBwKXytX
