EPA is providing a $100,000 grant to the Port
of San Francisco, with $141,000 in matching funds. This project
will enable the port to provide monetary incentives for cruise
ships to burn cleaner, lower sulfur fuels while they are docked
at the port. The port’s incentives will reduce the cost
of the lower sulfur fuels for the cruise ships and lower their
overall fees while docked in San Francisco. The project will
reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by an estimated 39 tons over
the course of the project.
