California onshore power regulations expanded to RoRo
Overview
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) amended the At Berth Regulation in 2020 to further reduce emissions from berthed ships. The regulation requires ships at California ports to adopt an approved emissions control strategy, typically involving the use of shore power (also known as onshore power supply (OPS) or cold ironing). BIMCO would like to remind that the scope of this regulation is set to increase from January 2025, further affecting Ro-Ro ships, and tankers at specific ports.
