The Marine Vessels and Ports Workgroup is exploring opportunities to share information and seek funding for a variety of projects including: alternative fuel use for vessels and on-shore equipment, equipment retrofits and early retirement, and cold ironing for ocean-going vessels and plug-in power for on-shore equipment. In addition, the Workgroup is the primary source of information exchange on the West Coast for a potential application for a Sulfur Emission Control Area (SECA).
