Project overview

APM Terminals Pier 400 has introduced a dedicated Clean Truck Express Lane for vehicles registered in the Port of Los Angeles Clean Truck Program. The lane reduces gate wait times by an average of nine minutes per trip, improving efficiency while lowering energy use and emissions. The initiative supports California’s transition to zero-emission trucking and forms part of APM Terminals’ broader strategy to decarbonize port operations and supply chains.

APM Terminals Pier 400 is ambitious to achieve zero emissions in their operations ahead of the 2030 deadlines set forth in the Clean Air Action Plan. As a critical node in the green corridor that is forming between Los Angeles and key cities in China, Pier 400 has invested in terminal electrification and support for alternative-fuel vessels. A key milestone was the arrival of Maersk's methanol-enabled containership, Alette Maersk, at Pier 400, demonstrating the growing integration of low-emission maritime transport and sustainable port operations. As one of APM Terminals' global electrification pilot sites, Pier 400 is expanding electric cargo-handling equipment and infrastructure to support cleaner supply chains and accelerate progress toward net-zero emissions.

APM Terminals Los Angeles along with project partners Aldridge Electric commissioned new rail yard charging infrastructure at Pier 400. This project will support the electrification of cargo-handling operations and accelerate the transition to zero-emission equipment. This self-funded project includes seven 120 kW dual-plug chargers, two 200 kW dual-plug chargers, and four 19.2 kW single-plug chargers, providing charging capacity for the terminal’s growing electric fleet. This is one amongst several decarbonization projects at APM Terminals Los Angeles.

Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore has announced the delivery of Eon, the first fully electric harbor tug in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Owned by Kuok Maritime Group under the Coastal Sustainability Alliance, the 29-meter vessel built by PaxOcean marks a key step toward zero-emission harbor operations. With a 50-ton bollard pull, Eon uses ABB’s integrated electric propulsion system powered by a 3MWh lithium titanate oxide battery, improving efficiency and extending operational range. Classified by Bureau Veritas' Battery System Notation, the tug reflects growing regional momentum in maritime electrification. Following earlier projects like Voltai, Eon highlights expanding industry collaboration to advance cleaner, more sustainable port operations across Southeast Asia.

The NH3 Kraken is a tugboat retrofitted with the New York based start-up, Amogy's innovative ammonia-to-electrical power system which emits zero carbon. The tugboat, originally built in 1957, was initially powered by diesel generators and electric motors. The NH3 Kraken embarked on its maiden voyage along an inland waterway in New York in 2024, demonstrating a promising pathway to reduce emissions in the maritime sector.

Auckland’s first plug-in hybrid electric fast ferry will soon begin service on the Auckland–Devonport commuter route. This 32-meter vessel is designed by Incat Crowther and built by Q-West Boat Builders with systems integration by HamiltonJet, can carry up to 299 passengers and 20 bicycles. Equipped with range-extending generators and advanced electric motors, the ferry is designed for future hydrogen conversion. Expected to cut emissions by 750,000 kg annually, the project supports Auckland’s broader fleet decarbonization and modernization goals.

The E-Green (이그린호; Igeulinho) is South Korea’s first state-owned all-electric ferry in operation. She will be operated by the Busan Port Authority as a "port guide vessel." Built by Kangnam Corporation, the 39.95-metre catamaran is part of a broader fleet renewal aligned with South Korea’s objective of “net zero” emissions by 2050. E-Green will embark up to 88 passengers on guided tours where they will witness some of the operations at the Port of Busan first-hand. Powered by two 1,068 kWh battery packs, the ferry operates with minimal noise and vibration during operations. The ferry will be remotely monitored, enhancing operational safety and optimizing performace. A full battery charge will be completed in as little as 90 minutes, enabling approximately two hours of operation.
