4 FAQs about 80kWh of collapsible containers used in the port of Mauritius

How can ports reduce energy costs?

ESSOP has explored two ways in which ports can minimize their energy costs by using energy storage: • Optimising how to use PV solar generation to offset grid electricity. The wholesale price of energy varies every half-hour, and on a time-of-day tariff this variation is passed onto users.

Does Port Louis have a sustainable ocean economy?

Beyond Ports: A Blueprint for a Sustainable Ocean Economy The transformation of Port Louis into a smart, green maritime hub extends far beyond trade and logistics—it is integral to Mauritius' vision for a resilient ocean economy. As a SIDS, Mauritius relies heavily on its marine resources, from fisheries and tourism to coastal biodiversity.

Can hydrogen fuel cells be used in the maritime sector?

Report evaluates the feasibility and competitiveness of hydrogen fuel cells in the maritime sector by analyzing the economics of three typical ship applications: container ships, ferries, and harbor tugs. It employs a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model, which consists of initial investment costs (CAPEX) and operating costs (OPEX).

How does the IMO's MARPOL regulations affect marine pollution?

The IMO's MARPOL regulations set international standards to prevent marine pollution from oil, chemicals, garbage, and sewage, while also limiting ship emissions to reduce the industry's environmental footprint. The IMO's 2020 sulfur cap mandates a reduction in sulfur emissions to no more than 0.5 %, contributing to the reduction of air pollution.
