The Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA) has officially opened its shore power facility. With an expected 100 calls per year, this initiative is projected to reduce approximately three metric tons of particulate matter, 100 metric tons of nitrogen and 4.8 metric kilotons of CO2. The green electricity comes in part from the Ruigoord wind farm in the port of Amsterdam. The new installation means ships can turn off their generators as soon as they dock, which reduces emissions and noise.
