Just four of Europe’s 30 biggest ports have invested in at least half of the required shoreside electric infrastructure, which would drastically reduce air pollution and CO2 emissions when ships are at port

Europe’s ports are failing to tackle toxic air pollution, a new study looking at major European ports shows. The study carried out by DNV, on behalf of T&E, shows that to date just 20% of the EU’s required electric shore power infrastructure has been installed or commissioned in major ports, meaning most container ships, cruise ships and ferries continue to run on fossil fuels while docked. T&E calls for more ambitious port-side measures to drastically cut air pollution and unnecessary emissions from moored ships.
