Miami-Dade County mayor Daniella Levine Cava (second from right) celebrated the launch of shore power at the port of Miami. It allows ships to turn off their engines and plug into landside electrical power while docked, resulting in reduced emissions and noise. "As mayor, I vowed to protect our environment; shore power has been my personal dream and initiative", she declared.
Hydi Webb, the port's director and CEO, added: "We are committed to being a sustainable global gateway." Miami-Dade County’s mission is to operate one of Florida’s most active seaports in a way that supports economic development and sustainability. Port Miami has a USD 4.2 billion capital improvement programme centred around net zero efforts. (ah)
