New proposed European Regulation would impose a limit on the intensity of greenhouse gases ("GHG") of the energy used on board by a ship arriving, staying or leaving ports under the jurisdiction of an EU Member State. It would also force the use of onshore power supply or zero-emission technology in EU ports.

The report, financed by the World Bank, does not recommend the use of LNG as a marine fuel or the support of investments in LNG infrastructure, not only because it is not compatible in the long term with a goal of zero emissions but also denies its advantages as transition fuel.

This application provides updated data to help make land power solutions or onshore power supply (OPS) solutions a reality to other ports interested in implementing them and systematizes the necessary information on these sustainable facilities for international shipowners.
