Government invites interested parties to submit expressions of interest for development of onshore power supply facility at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal

The Environment and Ecology Bureau (EEB), with the Tourism Commission (TC), today (October 14) invites interested parties to submit expressions of interest (EOIs) for the development of an onshore power supply (OPS) facility at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal (KTCT).

Hong Kong, China, as an associate member of the IMO, has long been supporting the related emission reduction target. Installing OPS facilities at cruise terminals allows cruise ships to connect to the onshore power grid while at berth, helping to reduce GHG emissions and fuel consumption from the ship's auxiliary engines, and abating emissions of air pollutants including nitrogen oxides. The KTCT had reserved space for setting up OPS facilities during its construction. In view of the growing adoption of OPS in the international cruise industry in recent years, the EEB, in collaboration wit
