A trio of German companies have been testing a shore side power concept that uses LNG to cut down on ship emissions while alongside.
Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) has been trialing the system, developed by Becker Marine Systems, in partnership Hapag-Lloyd.
The concept uses a gas-powered generator and an LNG tank, which provides the energy for the generator, all fitted within two 40-foot containers.
