FOREMAST Friday Fact 💡 Did you know that ports are becoming key players in the energy transition? 🌍⚡ By integrating renewable energy sources like wind and solar, ports are transforming into sustainable energy hubs. This shift not only powers port operations but also supports zero-emission vessels and green logistics corridors. For example, innovative ports are implementing onshore power supply systems that allow vessels to shut off their engines while docked, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving local air quality. These advancements highlight the critical role ports play in building a cleaner, greener future for global trade and transport. 🚢 Stay tuned for more updates on sustainable transport solutions, and subscribe to our newsletter to learn more! 📩 Subscribe here: https://lnkd.in/dVN6mpjC 💡 Source: https://lnkd.in/gwyG4eRQ #FridayFact #SustainableCities #Innovation #FOREMAST #ZeroEmission #TransportSolutions
