Totem Ocean Trailer Express Inc.
State and federal officials joined Port of Tacoma and Totem Ocean Trailer Express, Inc., officials Wednesday to flip the switch on the Pacific Northwest's first cargo ship shore power. Sparked by an EPA grant worth nearly $1.5 million, two TOTE cargo ships will now plug into electrical power and shut down diesel engines while docked during weekly calls at their Tacoma terminal. The $2.7 million shore power project will reduce diesel and greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90 percent during TOTE's 100 ship calls each year in Tacoma. That equals about 1.9 tons of diesel particulates and 1,360 tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year. (PHOTOS COURTESY PORT OF TACOMA)
