PORT

Port Hosts WWL Award Presentation

W

allenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL) challenged the crews of its

vessels with an Energy Efficiency Competition, asking them to find ways

to help the shipping company become more green.

The award for the technology/design category was presented in Baltimore

to Chief Engineer Eric Fjellstrom and Capt. Robert Enberg of the

M/V Turnadot

for their idea of adjusting the RPM of the main engine in such a way that it did

not affect the ship’s operation of the stern generator.

“It is appropriate that this award is given to the

Turnadot

here in

Baltimore, since this is one of the most proactive ports in terms of

environmental initiatives,” said Michael Derby, WWL General Manager for

Environmental Operations. He

added that WWL is sponsoring

a similar competition among

its terminals, and MAT will be

making entries as well.

Capt. Mike Reagoso and

Dan Spack represented the

Baltimore Port Alliance’s

Environmental Committee at the

presentation, which was also

attended by Mike Miller from the

Maryland Port Administration and

the Rev. Mary Davisson from the

Baltimore International Seafarers’

Center.

Trade Center while reducing electricity,

water consumption and chemical

treatment.

“This contract helps the government

maximize energy efficiency and is a critical

part of Governor O’Malley’s ‘EmPOWER

Maryland’ initiative,” said M. Kathleen

Broadwater, MPA Deputy Executive

Director. “We are committed to providing

our customers with superior service

through innovative thinking and operations,

and this project is a fine example of how we

are working to achieve the mission of the

Maryland Port Administration.”

At the Cruise Maryland terminal

and South Locust Point Shed 10, Pepco

Energy is installing an aggregate 750

kW, high-efficiency, photovoltaic system

that will be the largest of the systems

installed under the Maryland Department

of Transportation solar initiatives. The

electricity generated by this system

will power these facilities during peak

operational hours, producing an estimated

$93,400 per year in electricity savings.
