It’s been 20 years since the City said it was building a “luxury” cruise terminal in Red Hook, Brooklyn. What a sad couple of decades it’s been, with cruise ships spewing deadly diesel emissions into our air (& water), and @NYCEDC unable to build a working shore power system.

I decided to write a thread detailing the history of shore power at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. (Long 🧵 warning) Here it is: Brooklyn Cruise Terminal Shore Power Timeline, 2005 - Present 2005 - The Bloomberg administration announces a plan to create a luxury “state of the art” cruise terminal in Red Hook, Brooklyn nytimes.com/2005/01/13/nyr…

ElectrifyNY Statement: NYS-Senate Passes the Clean Deliveries Act for the Third Year in a Row - "High pediatric asthma rates and premature deaths are linked to poor air quality due to increased diesel truck traffic to and from mega-warehouses. The Clean Deliveries Act has garnered statewide support as it provides a necessary and flexible roadmap for cleaner air from e-commerce mega-warehouse operations and paves the way for a future without haze, diesel fumes, and climate pollution" earthjustice.org/press/2026/ele…

Shore power part of Manhattan Cruise Terminal plan - for ships, tugs, and other harbor vessels. As we've been saying (for a very long time now!), shore power incentivizes the switch to electric or hybrid vessels of all kinds. "As signaled for some time, shore power is key in the master plan, which includes an initial commitment of $20m for this at the terminal. Besides cruise ships, harbor vessels including tugs will now be able to connect to shore power to allow them to recharge their batteries and allow the tug fleet to begin the conversion to hybrid and fully electric propulsion through the use of on-board battery storage. Brooklyn Cruise Terminal has provided shore power for some years but the recent installation of a mobile system allows more ships to connect there" seatrade-cruise.com/ports-destinat…

”However, all is not lost - not by a long shot, as there is an immediate opportunity to slash GHG emissions from shipping, minimize fuel burn and the overall cost of the energy transition and that is to strengthen and make enforceable the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), the IMO’s cornerstone energy efficiency measure”

The carbon tax on vessels is a part of @IMOHQ GHG strategy to phaseout carbon emissions via operation, technical and market based measures. The carbon tax will go to a net zero fund which will be used for decarbonization of the industry, similar to that of Montreal Protocol.

President Trump: I am outraged that the International Maritime Organization is voting in London this week to pass a global Carbon Tax. The United States will NOT stand for this Global Green New Scam Tax on Shipping, and will not adhere to it in any way, shape, or form. We will not tolerate increased prices on American Consumers OR, the creation of a Green New Scam Bureaucracy to spend YOUR money on their Green dreams. Stand with the United States, and vote NO in London tomorrow!

The shore power jib (crane) is no longer at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. What’s going on? Has the long promised “mobile” jib been put into service? Or is every ship now idling 24/7, burning dirty diesel fuel, while docked at the terminal? @NYCEDC @CMAlexaAviles #RedHook

“We have work certificates from Selecmar that sells Cuban workers for luxury cruises and withholds 80% of the workers' wages and [we also have] certificates from the Cuban Ministry of the Interior proving these allegations. All this is ratified by more than 1111 complaints.” euronews.com/my-europe/2022…
