Innovation: Shore Power
The availability of shore power not only helps improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it allows cruise liners to conserve fuel and let your diesel auxiliary engines rest while in port.
With our first shore power installation in 2010, the Port of San Diego was among the first ports in California to have shore power available for cruise ships. In 2023, we expanded the shore power capability at our B Street and Broadway Pier cruise ship terminals to allow two cruise ships to plug in simultaneously.
