On December 4th, a significant landmark was reached when the trial and activation of ONE’s AMP container at NZPG’s terminal were successfully completed. This event signified a historic moment as it was the first instance where a ship at a Chinese port connected to shore power using the Lift-on/Lift-off method with an AMP container. This innovative method not only enhances cold ironing capabilities but also contributes to lowering emissions during port stays.

The symposium kicked off with an opening speech from ONE Global Chief Officer, Hiroki Tsujii. He stated, “One approach to reduce carbon footprint is through shore power usage. Today we will introduce the utilization of a containerized AMP unit to support further reduction. The use of an AMP unit is a familiar and effective approach within this industry. To be successful, close cooperation among various concerned parties is necessary. We believe this will contribute to carbon footprint reduction in a practical and expedited way, and we hope it is a good symbol of collaboration among relevant parties.”
