Plugging In: Carnival Corporation Celebrates Shore Power Launch at PortMiami After Exceeding Industry-Leading Milestone
Carnival Cruise Line to lead the charge as first PortMiami shore power connection
嘉年華郵輪公司將引領首個PortMiami岸電連接
World's largest cruise company continues to outpace its fleetwide 2030 shore power target
全球最大的郵輪公司繼續超越其2030年全球岸電目標
MIAMI, June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Shore power has arrived for ships docked at PortMiami, and today, Carnival Conquest represented Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK), the world's largest cruise company, at a celebratory event announcing it will be the first cruise ship to plug into landside electrical power at the cruise capital of the world.
2024年6月17日，邁阿密/美通社——在PortMiami停船碼頭爲巨輪提供岸電的設施已經到位，今天，嘉年華征服號代表郵輪巨頭嘉年華公司和英美兩地上市公司（紐交所/倫交所代碼：CCL；紐交所代碼：CUK），宣佈將成爲這個全球郵輪之都第一艘在岸旁插入電源的遊輪。
Through an industry partnership between Miami-Dade County, Florida Power & Light Company and several cruise lines including Carnival Corporation, PortMiami is now the first major cruise port on the U.S. eastern seaboard offering shore power connections at five cruise berths.
在Miami-Dade縣、Florida Power&Light公司以及包括嘉年華公司在內的多個郵輪公司的合作下，PortMiami現已成爲美國東海岸第一個爲 5 個郵輪泊位提供岸電連接的重要郵輪港口。
"This is an important milestone for our hometown and we're proud to support Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and all county and port officials for their amazing partnership in bringing shore power to PortMiami," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. "We continue to implement important initiatives that have kept us ahead of our ambitious goals to reduce emissions, and this new shore power capability will allow our ships to rely on the electrical grid to power our ships while in port."
“這是我們的家鄉的一個重要里程碑，我們爲支持邁阿密-戴德縣市長丹妮拉·萊文·卡瓦和所有縣市和港口官員在爲全球郵輪之都帶來岸電方面取得了驚人的合作感到自豪，” 嘉年華郵輪公司總裁克莉絲汀·達菲（Christine Duffy）表示：“我們繼續實施重要舉措，使我們超前於實現降低排放目標的宏偉目標，這種新的岸電能力將允許我們的船隻在港內依靠電力網供電。”
Carnival Conquest's selection for the inaugural connection at PortMiami comes on the heels of Carnival Corporation surpassing its 2030 shore power goal in 2023, seven years ahead of schedule. The company now leads the industry with 67% of its fleet shore power-capable, meaning it has twice as many ships able to "plug in" than there are ports equipped to provide shore power.
嘉年華征服號在PortMiami首航電源連接項目中成爲首選船艇，這是嘉年華郵輪公司在2023年超過其2030年岸電目標七年之後的結果，該公司現在以67%的船隻均可使用岸電功能，這意味着其擁有“插電式“運行電源的旅遊船隻數是端口所配備的岸電船隻數量的兩倍。
"Using shoreside electricity to power our ships in port is an integral part of our global strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and minimize our environmental footprint," said Josh Weinstein, chief executive officer of Carnival Corporation & plc. "It's been over 20 years since our company first pioneered shore power for the cruise industry, yet adoption remains limited to just 2% of cruise ports worldwide. We applaud PortMiami for having the vision to recognize shore power as vital to the future of our industry and the planet, and for being at the forefront of their peer group in delivering this capability to cruise ships."
“將在碼頭使用岸邊電力供電是我們全球戰略中減少溫室氣體（GHG）排放並儘量減少對環境影響的重要組成部分。自二十多年前我們公司首創郵輪岸電以來，全球郵輪港口對這種技術的採用仍很有限，僅佔全球郵輪港口的2%。我們讚揚PortMiami有眼光地將岸電視爲我們行業和地球未來的至關重要組成部分，並在向同行業發起動力方面處於前列，帶領郵輪公司接入這一新功能。” 嘉年華公司和英美兩地上市公司首席執行官約書亞·溫斯坦（Josh Weinstein）表示。
Energy Efficiency and Reduced Fuel Use
Shore power is an efficient way for cruise operators to switch off ship engines while in port and "plug in" to use energy from the local electric grid to power onboard systems and equipment. Using shore power can reduce total emissions by up to 98%, depending on the mix of energy sources. Carnival Corporation is committed to connecting to shoreside electricity in port when it is available and operationally feasible, and the company is working closely with ports around the world to prioritize investment in this important capability.
能源化工和簡化的運轉
岸電是郵輪運營商在港口關閉船隻引擎並“插入”使用當地電網能源來供電遊艇系統和設備的有效方式。使用岸電可減少總排放量高達98％，這取決於能源來源的混合程度。嘉年華公司承諾在港口提供岸邊電力時實現連接投入運營並保持可行性，與全球各港口密切合作，以優先考慮投資此重要能力。
Carnival Corporation's current shore power achievements include:
嘉年華公司當前的岸電成就包括：
- Two-thirds of the company's global fleet – 64 ships – are equipped with shore power capabilities and are ready to "plug in" where port connections to electric power are available.
- Nearly half of its global portfolio of world-class cruise lines boast fleets that are 100%, fully shore power-capable.
- An additional three ships will be outfitted with shore power capabilities this year, and a recent agreement with Switzerland-based technology company ABB Group will help install an additional 30 shore power connections onboard Carnival Corporation ships over the next few years.
- 該公司全球三分之二的船隊，即64艘船隻配備了岸電功能，並已準備好在港口連接電力時使用。
- 其全球卓越的郵輪系列中將近一半的郵輪船隊都可以100%地使用岸電。
- 今年還將新增三艘船隻的岸電功能，加上近期與瑞士技術公司ABB集團達成的協議，未來幾年將會在嘉年華公司的船隻上安裝30個岸上電力連接設備。
Shore power is one of the many emission reduction technologies Carnival Corporation utilizes to reduce fuel use as part of its overall decarbonization strategy and pursuit of net zero GHG emissions by 2050. Thanks to the aggressive and ongoing actions taken to date throughout the fleet, Carnival Corporation is producing 10+% less total GHG emissions today than in 2011, despite increasing capacity by roughly 30% in that time.
岸電是嘉年華公司應用的許多減排技術之一，旨在在其整體減排戰略和追求到2050年達到淨零溫室氣體排放的目標。儘管該公司在此期間增加了大約30％的容量，但由於全船組織並繼續採取積極而持續的行動，目前的總溫室氣體排放量要比2011年減少了10％以上。
