Cold ironing, also known as "shore power" or "cold ironing," refers to the practice of supplying electrical power to ships while they are docked in port, eliminating the need for them to use their onboard diesel generators. This process allows vessels to switch off their engines while at berth, significantly reducing emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and particulate matter (PM), thereby improving air quality in the surrounding area.
