Background:  CARB adopted the At-Berth Regulation in 2007 to protect public health by controlling oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) emissions from diesel auxiliary engines on container ships, passenger ships, and refrigerated-cargo ships while berthing at a California Port. The At-Berth Regulation provides two options to reduce at-berth emissions: 1) turn off auxiliary engines and connect the vessel to some other source of power, typically shore based grid power (shore power), or 2) use an alternative control technology that achieves equivalent emission reductions.
