IAPH Tool Box for Port Clean
Air Programs
Web-based planning
guide for port clean
air programs
 No one-size-fits-all approach
 Measures for each of major emission
sources
 Measures & tools readily available,
including application cases and pros/cons

IAPH
On-Shore Power Supply




Ship emission controls by MARPOL Annex VI
entering into force in 2005 and revised in 2008.
Shut down ship engines
completely while at berth
In 2007, IAPH set up WG
for international technical
standard of AMP with ISO
In 2009, IEC & ISO adopted
PAS for HVSC

IAPH
Port Climate Action
=Integrated approach=
Not single-source oriented
 Inventory emissions of all port-related
activities
 Develop effective program with best mix of
measures
 Involve all stakeholders
 Set up targets of climate action
 Make public know progress/achievements

IAPH
Port Climate Action
=Sustainable approach=
Take immediate action but with long-term
approach
 Build in a mechanism for self-development
 Rather than penalties, provide benefits to
participants of climate
initiatives
 Plan measures to run in
a business-oriented way

IAPH
Port Climate Action
=Innovative approach=
Introduce a variety of forms of new
incentives to climate action participants
 Promote new technology
through joint-project,
offering testing sites, etc.
 Combining separate climate
measures strategically

IAPH
Prepare for Climate Change
Impacts - adaptation action



Mitigation alone is not sufficient, ports must
prepare for impacts of climate change-Adaptation
IAPH Port Planning & Development Committee
tasked to study adaptation measures for ports
Joint survey with US
Stanford University on
how ports see climate
change as risk and
how they prepare for.
IAPH
