In the visit, Chairman Gao also had a meet with Deputy Directors Zhu Galin and Ke Jisi from Department of restructuring, laws and regulations in Ministry of Communications and Transportation.
Leaders from above three parts (HOSCO Group,CCS and Ministry of Communications and Transportation) had a deep discussion on the technology, policy and standards of using electricity from port for ships in port of occasional call.
Chairman Gao stated that energy conservation and emission reduction are all the human beings’ responsibility, and we should take it as our job. Using electricity from port for ships in port of occasional call is an important measure for energy conservation and emission reduction. There is only a small part of ports and containers use electricity from port during port call in the word. We should grasp the chance to lead the word and standard the international rules. We hope Ministry of Communications and Transportation and CCS will pay more attention and give supports. For shipping enterprises, using electricity from ports during port call will reduce the cost in the view of long time although there is some investment in the beginning. Chairman Gao also gave his ideas of using electricity as power for ships in short distance, costal area and river. He expressed China’s environment is venerable, and the pollution is serious. We should be the No.1 around the word in the scope of environment-friendly shipping and green shipping. Using Electricity as power for ship is significant for t energy conservation and emission reduction, which is also a trend and can be realized in technology. |
