CANADA’S Greater Victoria Harbour Authority will be moving forward on its shore power plans, it confirmed last week.
The organisation will proceed with the next stage of the project for the Victoria Cruise Terminal (pictured) at The Breakwater District, after Moffat & Nichol’s Ship Emission Mitigation Technology Assessment & Business Case indicated a reduction of more than 46% of greenhouse gas emissions and criteria air contaminants is achievable.
The business case suggests the installation of shore power at two berths at Pier B, which welcomes 75% of all cruise ship calls during a season, would mark the equivalent of removing 1,394 cars from the road per year.
The cost for the proposed solution is between C$23.3 million and C$24.8 million.
2019 revenue for Greater Victoria Harbour Authority, a not-for-profit, was C$16.3 million, and the organisation said due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial impact of the project would not be able to be absorbed until a stabilisation of the cruise industry took place.
