5. 4. Is Cold Ironing Hot Enough? An Actor Focus Perspective of On Shore Power Supply (OPS) at Copenhagen's Harbour

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Sara Libera Zanetti; [2013]
   Keywords : cold ironing; on shore power supply; shore side electricity; alternative maritime power; transition; ships emissions; Copenhagen; municipality; Social Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on cold ironing for vessels while berthed at port, with the port of Copenhagen as main case study. With the use of this technique, which is considered by the International Marine Organization (IMO) as a measure to reduce air pollution and noise deriving from shipping activities in ports and coastal areas, vessels are able to shut down their auxiliary engines in order to generate power and replace it with electricity supplied by the shore.
