This study is the first nationwide port emissions screening for at-berth vessels. The study estimates how much pollution is emitted by at-berth vessels and then identifies U.S. ports where investments in shore power could meaningfully improve air quality in nearby communities. Of the 129 ports considered in this analysis, 43 high-priority ports and port groups overlapped with lower-income census tracts and areas that do not meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency air quality standards.
