Pier 66 Shore Power Project Construction Funding

            Pier 66 Bell Street Cruise Terminal
•  Commissioned in 1999
•  Single berth facility and home port to
Norwegian and Oceania vessels
•  Upgraded to accommodate newest NCL
vessels in 2018
•  Recent P66 Interior Modernization
further enhanced areas jointly used by
Cruise and the International Conf. Center
•  Contributes to significant jobs and
economic benefits to the region: 5,500
jobs and nearly $900M in total business
revenue each typical cruise season

    Shore Power is a Key Environmental Strategy
Maritime Climate and Air Action Plan:
•   Implement the Seattle Waterfront Clean
Energy Strategy
•   Install cruise shore power at Pier 66 by
2024, 6 years ahead of the Northwest Ports
Clean Air Strategy goal
•  Work with cruise lines to make 100% of
homeport calls shore power-capable
and plug in by 2030, if not before
•  Incorporate sustainability best practices
into leases and agreements

      Shore Power Environmental Benefits and Successes
•   93 percent of electricity in Seattle comes from low carbon,
low-cost sources, like hydroelectricity
•   Ships that use Seattle’s clean electricity instead of fossil fuels
at berth reduce CO2 and air pollutants
–  In 2019 shore power use reduced about 2,900 metric tonnes of CO2
–  In 2021 shore power use reduced about 1,700 metric tonnes of CO2
–  In 2022 shore power use reduced about 2,200 metric tonnes of CO2
•   Cruise lines are demonstrating commitment to use shore
power at Terminal 91 and connection rates by equipped calls
increase year-over-year:
97%
100%                                    89%
80%                     62%

•   At Pier 66, many ships are already shore power-equipped and
expected to connect once a connection is available

submersible cable in Elliott Bay
•  Segment 4: Shore power equipment and
infrastructure on Pier 66. Two shore
power connection points with cable
management system to offer connection
flexibility

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
