Port of Long Beach (POLB) & Los Angeles (POLA) 'Clean Trucks Program' - 09/23/08
POLA & POLB have adopted the 'San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan' to improve air quality in the South Coast Air Basin more quickly and aggressively than has ever been attempted by any seaport, anywhere in the world. The main goal is to reduce air pollution from the diesel truck fleet by 80 percent by 2012, by financing a new generation of new or retrofitted vehicles.
Beginning of October 1st 2008, 1988 and older trucks will be banned. The program will progressively ban all trucks that don't meet 2007 emission standards within 4 years and encourage truck fleets of alternatively-fuelled vehicles, for example LNG.
Hence the installation of the largest LNG Vehicle Refuelling Station in the world in the Port of Long Beach: equipped with 8 Cryostar transfer pumps SUBTRAN , 2 Offload pumps GBS, 1 reciprocating pump MRP and the cryostar LNG station control panel and software.
The Refuelling Station supplying saturated and cold LNG is being built in partnership with General Physics and Chart USA for Clean Energy.
