Port Metro Vancouver

• Largest and busiest port in Canada• Largest port in North America in total foreign

exports• Handled 102 million tonnes of cargo in 2009• Trade with more than 160 economies • 28 major marine cargo terminals and three Class I

railroads provide a full range of facilities and services

Context Air Action Program

• Port Metro Vancouver recognizes that• Degradations in air quality and climate change

effects impact society, the environment and the economy.

• Port related contributions to air quality and climate change have the potential to increase due to growing demand for international trade.

• Port Metro Vancouver is committed to reducing port-related contributions to air quality and climate change and achieving co-benefits wherever possible to ensure both goals are met

p o r t m e t r o v a n c o u v e r.c o m

Shore Power

• Ships can shut down their engines while berthed and plug in to an onshore power source.

• The ship’s power load is transferred to the shoreside power supply without disruption to onboard services.

• Emissions to the local surroundings are reduced or eliminated.

Criteria for a Successful Project

Criteria StatusAvailability of an adequate supply of electricity at a reasonable cost.

BC Hydro applying to BC Utilities Commission for competitive electrical rate (based on off-peak, interruptible requirement)

Frequency of calls by cruise vessels equipped to connect to Shore Power.

Princess currently has 4 shore-power equipped vessels regularly calling Vancouver approx 10x each = 40 calls/season. HAL has 1 shore-power equiped vessed in 2009 calling approximately 20 times.

Availability of the same dock and pier facility for these vessels for every call.

Shore power enabled (Princess) vessels currently all berth at Canada Place East berth. Holland America ships use West berth.

Adequate dock and upland space for equipment.

VFPA and Ceres have identified potential space, operational feasibility to accommodate required infrastructure.

Willing partners including – utility, port and government agencies.

p o r t m e t r o v a n c o u v e r.c o m

• $9 million project

• Willing partners: cruise lines, PMV, government and power utility

• Only the 3rd cruise ship shower power installation in the world, and most technically advanced to date.

• Capable of supplying two ships simultaneously @ up to 14MW per ship; dual voltage transformers supply power to 11kV or 6.6kV class ships

• Clean energy! Virtually no emissions associated with Hydro-based electricity generation

Future Port Energy Requirements

• Scenario - conversion of 100% of container and cruise cargo handling equipment and ocean going vessels to electric

• By 2015, BC Hydro is forecasting a 9,500 GWh supply shortfall

• Current Demand forecasts do not account for electrification of port operations

• Issues around infrastructure to supply electricity to certain areas of the Port

• BC Hydro are expecting to bridge 66% of the power supply shortfall through conservation and efficiency by 2020

Beyond 2010 -Where does PMV need to go?

• PMV develop a sustainable energy strategy to meet future port growth and energy requirements.

• Why?• Movement to electrification of port operations (e.g. shore power

for ocean going vessels, electric yard trucks, electric RTG’s) to reduce criteria air contaminants and green house gases will increase power demands.

• Availability of cost effective, “green power” to PMV and PMV tenants in the future?

• Access to cost effective “green power” a competitive port advantage in a carbon economy.

• Peak Oil 2015? 2020?

16

p o r t m e t r o v a n c o u v e r.c o m

2010 and beyond-Where does PMV need to go?

• PMV is developing a strategy to promote “green” power production, port wide conservation efforts and phased electrification of port services to support future sustainable Port growth and operations.

p o r t m e t r o v a n c o u v e r.c o m

Stimulating the Change Over –Encouraging Voluntary Industry Initiativeswhat is needed

• Provision of funding or financial incentives to further emission reductions through electrification that address:

• Funding availability and accessibility (for large and small operations)

• Ease of application and reporting

• Need for timelines that make sense for industrial operations

• Provision of recognition for industries reducing air emissions and GHGs

• Provision of in-kind support• Targeted research and practical

technical guidance

Collaboration and engagement
